Am I teachable? I think that's a hard thing for people to measure for themselves. St. Benedict set out to "establish a school for the Lord's service." (The Rule of St. Benedict Prologue:45) Improving the mind has always been a big part of Benedictine monasticism. It is considered to be a part of one's spiritual journey.
Something that I find appealing about people in emergent circles is that they seem to get this. They want to be teachable. I hope this will continue to be one of our greatest attributes.
