Each day, the monks met in the Chapter House to discuss the business of the abbey. |
They began their meeting with the reading of a chapter from the Rule of St. Benedict. |
The monks discussed daily routine and abbey business, made plans for managing the abbey's lands and tried anyone accused of breaking the rules.
|
If an important decision was to be made, every monk, even the youngest, was asked for his opinion.
