To celebrate the dedication of the new St. Michael's Abbey library, Fieldstead hosted a symposium on-site exploring the great tradition of monastic libraries and the two notable collections now housed at the abbey: the personal library of the preeminent early church historian Henry Chadwick, and the rare books of Thomas C. Oden, editor of the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture.
