That's a neat web site - thanks for sharing. Obviously, people living in solitude have contributed tremendous value to Christianity.

Yes, in fact, as the Hermitary FAQ says, the word "hermit" comes from the Greek word for desert, in reference to the Desert Fathers (& Mothers) of the 4th century Church. I don't know much about them but I believe they have had a profound influence on our faith.
