Let's Do Lunch: Dr. Cameron Thompson (round 3)

 

In this episode of Let’s Do Lunch I have a discussion 

w/Dr. Cameron Thompson.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Cameron when we taught together at a local classical school here in Minnesota. He is an anthropologist & teacher steeped in literature, philosophy, history & theology. We discuss

· the current situation in America from an outside perspective;

· The Benedict Option and how it prompted his family to move to Italy to create an authentic life for the future

· And how we all might attempt to craft a hopeful way forward in our troubled world.

All this and more can be found in this episode of Let’s Do Lunch on Avalon Mentors podcast.

You can also find his observations and ideas at the website

Dr. Cameron M. Thompson

Saint Benedict of Nursia (c. 2 March 480 – c. 21 March 547 AD) wrote "The Rule of Saint Benedict" in 516 which became the standard rule for monasticism in Europe.  It is the basis for Alisdair MacIntyre's proposal in "After Virtue" that came to be referred to as "The Benedict Option".
