The American Benediction Forum promotes “love of learning” and “desire for God” through research, writing, and conversation among its members and by fostering ongoing formation to the Benedictine way of life. The Forum is a non-profit association whose purpose is to cultivate, study and support the Benedictine charism within contemporary culture.

The Forum provides support to members through biennial conventions, publications and grants.

The Forum is governed by a board of directors under the guidance of a Constitution and By-laws.

The Board of Directors, elected by the membership, fosters activities to fulfill the purpose of the Forum. They eagerly listen for input from the members and sponsors. The current board was installed September 4, 2024. Click here to access the President’s Address.
