Brother Basil

Brother Basil is rich in revelation for anyone with a desire to enhance their life's journey. Joining with Joseph's Angel Spirit observations of those living differently-able, Brother Basil has used his wisdom to illuminate the journey of every enlightened soul.

In death, as well as in life, Brother Basil uses his quiet sense of humor, ability to listen and support Joseph and all those around him, and his ability to celebrate the existence of the soul as an inspiration for the messages of love, acceptance, and understanding contained within these pages.

At St. Paul's Episcopal Church Brother Basil's faith intersected with his extensive musical training and love of sacred choral music. For almost three decades he was a beacon of prayer for the whole community in his singing, his love of worship, and his leadership during daily Evening Prayer. As Musical Director, he produced an inspirational audio CD of the complete Latin Missa Introits and Sequences. Brother Basil became a postulant with the Companions of St. Luke in May 2009, and was given the religious name "Basil". In 2015, he made final vows to live his life with Christ following the Benedictine Rules and Vows, and was later elected the Superior. His quiet sense of humor, ability to listen and support, and ability to celebrate life was an inspiration to all the community.
