Monk in the Market Place … and the Simpsons is a memoir like no
other. Ray Simpson, Founding Guardian of the international new
monastic Community of Aidan and Hilda, recalls the story of a
unique life in which he has followed faithfully a calling to live
monastically beyond the traditional enclosures of monastery or
shrine. Ray’s unputdownable account charts human pain and
God-incidents in his childhood and college, baptisms of fire in
industrial heartlands and multi-racial London, pioneering a Village
of God at Bowthorpe, Norwich, the call to be ‘a contemplative in
the market place’ living without a salary, his co-founding of the
Community of Aidan and Hilda, and twenty years as founder of the
Celtic Christianity library and CAH Retreat Facilities on the Holy
Island of Lindisfarne, ‘the spiritual capital of England’.
