Monastic Package

Verbum seems to have different types of packages (Ordinate, Academic, etc). I believe the Orthodox package should have other packages as well. An Orthodox collection that branches out into monastic writings would be a really cool package.

Or perhaps a monastic package that includes Protestant, Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Catholic, and Roman Catholics, etc would be really cool as well.

Speaking as a Catholic, I find this an Interesting idea. I’d consider getting it if the price was manageable.

Good suggestion Blair, I would consider it.
