Into the Desert: Revival of Anglican Monastic Orders and their Companions

During Lent, the Church follows Jesus Christ into his forty-day fast in the desert, but the Church's monastics simply take up permanent residence in this desert, dedicating their lives to prayer, penance, and the study of Scripture. This Lent, we will explore the contours of the monastic vocation, asking how the wisdom gained from the desert can enrich our lives in the modern world. A hearty lunch will be provided.
