Christ in the Desert Reality Show

I was watching The Learning Channel last night when I saw a series of familiar faces from this past summer flicker across the screen--the monks of Christ in the Desert. I was seeing a promo for a new show called “the Monastery” that is to air on October 22nd. The Benedictines are doing a reality show, of a sort.

It was strange to see Fr. Christian, the Abbot, and other monks I interacted with and talked about on Rosh HaShanah on television. Ayelet thought there was something wrong with me as I was screaming: “I know that guy.I talked to him! Look there is the church!”

I have no idea what this show will be like, but I certainly plan to TiVo it. Here is a link to get more information on the show:http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/monastery/monastery.html
