In 2003, a story shook the Anglican world in general and Anglican
monastic life in particular. On August 8th, seven members of The
Melanesian Brotherhood, an Anglican order of Christian brothers
living a simple and prayerful life and known for their peace work
throughout the South Pacific and beyond, were brutally murdered as
a result of ethnic conflict in the Solomon Islands. They had been
taken hostage five months earlier. The Melanesian Brotherhood is
the largest Anglican religious community in the world with over 300
brothers and more than 300 novices and has received a United
Nations award for its peace work. From 1990-2005, Richard Carter, a
British priest, was tutor, chaplain to the Melanesian Brotherhood,
eventually becoming a brother himself. This extraordinary, powerful
and moving book is based on his diaries from that agonizing time
for the Community. It tells the harrowing story of the loss of
seven good, young and holy lives and the aftermath of those deaths.
It tells the story of individuals and a community trying to make
sense of faith in the face of fierce conflict and tragedy. It
recounts the challenge of living out the Christian faith when
confronted by great fear and loss. It is thus a story for everyman.
Rowan Williams writes a preface.
