12 Steps of Humility (in Rule of St Benedict) and the 12 Steps of Recovery in AA

This video is a discussion on some of the overlapping themes in both the 12 Steps of Humility in the Rule of St Benedict and in the 12 Steps of Recovery in AA. There are many points of similarity but in this video we focus on just three
1. Surrendering our will to God
2. Self knowledge of our character defects
3. Cultivating a conscious relationship with God.
Scott, who is a devotee of the 12 Steps Recovery Program, and Br Brian, who tries to live by the 12 Steps of Humility in the Rule of St Benedict, share their experiences of their respective spiritual practices. Are they ultimately the same thing? Do they both lead to the same thing? Watch and see!

Rule of St Benedict Ch 42: 'Monks should be silent at all times but especially at night. This should always be the rule whether it is a feast day or not.'
