Too often people's understanding of and engagement with 'church' is
reduced to corporate worship, when it is so much more. George Lings
identifies seven characteristic elements in Christian communities
through the ages, which when held in balance enable a richer
expression of discipleship, mission and community. In the monastic
tradition these elements have distinctive locations: cell (being
alone with God), chapel (corporate public worship), chapter (making
decisions), cloister (planned and surprising meetings), garden (the
place of work), refectory (food and hospitality) and scriptorium
(study and passing on knowledge). Through this lens George Lings
explores how these seven elements relate to our individual and
communal walk with God, hold good for church and family life, and
appear in wider society.
