This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Patterson, Bernardin J., Prior, O.S.B.".
Prior Bernardin Patterson was a Benedictine monk of St. Maur's Priory in South Union, Kentucky. The monastery was unique in the United States as having been established as a racially integrated community when it was founded in 1947 on the grounds of a Shaker village. At the time of writing, he was working on a book entitled, Religion on Trial.
