Far from destroying monastic life, Dom Besret claims, he was groping for more efficient forms—"free of all legalism, pharisaism and anachronism"—more suitable to modern man. At Easter, after writing a book and visiting the U.S., he will return to Boquen as a simple monk. He still hopes that, in the end, the Boquen experiment will be permitted to continue and help transform monasteries into living centers and catalysts of Christianity once again.
