This book brings together stories of new monasticism in the UK.
Totally Devoted: the challenge of new monasticism by Simon Cross
shows us communities and groups which all, in widely different
ways, live as new monastics, seeking God and carrying on the
traditions of their forebears in a way fitting for twenty-first
century living. The book features interviews with members of
various communities, including among others: The Northumbria
Community; Safespace; TOM; EarthAbbey; The Community of Aidan and
Hilda; SPEAK; The Catholic Worker Movement; Betel of Britain;
L'Arche; The Ashram Community; and hOme. Author, activist and new
monastic, Shane Claiborne had this to say about Totally Devoted :
Every few hundred years, it seems that the Church gets infected by
the world around us and we forget who we are called to be. And
every few hundred years, there are folks on the fringes of the
faith who hear a whisper to leave the materialism and militarism
and all the clutter of the culture... and to go to the margins, and
the desert and the abandoned places to rethink what it means to be
Christian. Here is another piece of evidence that there is a
movement once again hearing the ancient whisper of God to repair
the Church which is in ruins. -Publisher.
