SUNLIT UPLANDS: Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz

Welcome to Sunlit Uplands.

This website is dedicated to a renewal of Christian culture. It is inspired by Sir Winston Churchill, a valiant defender of Christian civilization, who believed "we have a great treasure to guard; that the inheritance in our possession represents the prolonged achievement of the centuries." With Churchill, we believe that a "fraternal association" of the English-speaking peoples must "for their own safety and for the good of all walk together in majesty, in justice and in peace.”

Our website's title is taken from the great man's Finest Hour speech .

Your comments are most welcome. Thank you for visiting.
