    Have you ever written your own work or treatise? Or erhaps a novel?

      I came to Saint Catherine’s Monastery because of its significance and history and remoteness. But in fulfilling my obligations here, I have been asked to speak at various university conferences, and to submit essays for publication. This year will see the publication of an essay I wrote on the Ladder, to be published in P. Van Deun & M. Venetskov (eds.), The Ladder of Divine Ascent by John of Sinai (Climacus): New Perspectives (Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta – Bibliothèque de Byzantion).
