Brother James Dowd
Brother James Dowd, ohc, is a monk of Holy Cross Monastery in West Park, NY. The Order of the Holy Cross is a Benedictine monastic community in the Episcopal Church. Brother James is the Director of Outreach and Peace Ministries for the monastery and has worked in these ministries for many years. "Peace Before The Sun Goes Down" is a monthly column focusing on the Spirituality of Peace Making. The title comes from the Rule of Benedict, written nearly 1,500 years ago which is the the basic Rule of Life for all Benedictine monks and nuns. It refers to chapter 4, verse 73 of St. Benedict's Rule, in which he instructs his monks that "if you have a dispute with someone, make peace with him before the sun goes down."
