Charles work was published in many local papers across Canada. This Western People magazine from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan features Fr Charles work as:
“Conservator of Spirit – Charles Brandt seeks to conserve not only the spirit, but paper as well. The Vancouver Island monk is doing both with his book-preserving business.”
Quotes:
” I’m interested in conserving, for example, my spirit, your spirit. And I’m interested in what flows from this spirit –what people write, the works of art that they perform or their handicrafts. And then I’m interested in conserving the world about us.”
“I think you have to live from the centre outward, and you have to return to the centre, to the heart, where God is. And if you don’t really have some kind of a contact, whatever you do is not going to accomplish it. It’s like smoke, it’s going to vanish.”
