Every community living according to the Rule of St. Benedict should feel challenged by Pope Francis’ Encyclical Letter Fratelli tutti on fraternity and social friendship. In the following text, AIM (Alliance for International Monasticism) offers these communities some help in analysing this text and in reflecting on this theme in community. It has always been the goal of the AIM, indeed, to analyse the impact of social evolution on our communities of monks and nuns.
