The Team
Deacon Eddie Ensley and Deacon Robert Herrmann are both nationally known authors, pastoral counselors and retreat leaders. They have over twenty years experience leading parish missions, retreats, renewals and conferences. Passionately overwhelming audiences with their talks, they teach the same way Jesus taught the crowds, by telling stories and parables. Infectious wit, down-to-earth insights and truly holy inspiration are the hallmarks of their message. Their gentle words help tie heaven and earth together, making the divine connect with our everyday living. Many pastors and parish leaders say their parish missions attracted the largest crowd they had ever had for a parish spiritual program. Both are American Indians.

Conteplative Brothers is not a religious order, but an association for ministry recognized as a religious house by our diocese (Savannah).

Deacon Eddie Ensley
When Deacon Ensley was studying to become a Protestant minister, something happened on his first visit to a small Catholic church that would forever change his life - he experienced the special presence of Christ in the reserved Blessed Sacrament. The series of "miracles" that occurred from that moment forward, that brought him into the Catholic Church, is a story that you will want to hear and then share with everyone you meet.

Deacon Ensley is one of the most gifted Catholic speakers today. His writings have been fervently recommended to the Church by spiritual giants like Fr. Benedict Groeschel and Richard Rohr OFM. Describing himself as "a miner in search of the forgotten riches of our Christian past" he conducts primary-source research into the vast and long Christian and Jewish history of spirituality.

Deacon Ensley:
• is the author of many books and articles, including Prayer That Heals Our Emotions (Harper/Collins) and his most recent book Visions, published by Loyola Press
• Holds a masters degree in Catholic pastoral ministry from Loyola University.
