Abbot Primate Notker Wolf, OSB, was born in 1940 in Bad Gronenbach, Bavaria, Germany. He serves at Sant'Anselmo in Rome as the highest-ranking member of the Confederation of Benedictines. In this role, he travels the world visiting Benedictine communities. He speaks thirteen languages and is an enthusiastic and diverse musician. An integral part of Wolf's Christian spirituality is interreligious dialogue-that is, "loving the world of the other." An expert on leadership, he is frequently sought out by religious and business communities alike.
