Urban Monastics invites people to live our Way of Life in the cities they live in all around the world. Our Way of Life focuses us on the disciplines of prayer, simplicity, work, and hospitality. Each of these disciplines is grounded in the living history of monastic practices and rhythms. For monastics, we see that how we live impacts the way we experience presence with God and others.
The Urban Monastic Way of Life is rooted in the Rule of Saint Benedict, for those of us living and working in cities. There is a deep richness in the traditions of monastics who have devoted their lives to living this way since the early church. We honor and embody those values as we live monastic lives. Our Way of Life is the foundation for living intentional lives as monastics in the midst of our cities. We are an ecumenical community that is open to all. It is a global community of people of all backgrounds, living out our Way of Life in the cities they live in.
If discovering Urban Monastics resonates with you, there are two ways you can be involved. The first is to join us, and become a Monastic or Sojourner with us. The second is to help this ministry make a larger impact in the world with your prayers and finances.
May the Lord, our God, bless the growing movement of Urban Monastics.
