Signs of fresh life, springing up from the roots of traditional monastic life, can be seen throughout the Church as growing numbers of groups – whether gathered or scattered – seek to live the gospel with renewed integrity.
Is God shaping a new monasticism?
Can ancient tradition enrich the life and mission of the wider Church?
Can it engage with the complexity of contemporary culture and create an atmosphere, as Abbot Stuart Burns ask, where Christ can be encountered?
New monastic pioneers from Britain and America share their stories and reflect on their commitment to mission in diverse local contexts, sustained by community and a rule of life. They explore how the essentials of monastic spirituality – prayer, hospitality, community, rhythm of life and practical engagement – can resource a mission in today’s world where the Church and culture often stand far apart.

Living Mission: The Vision and Voices of New Friars
Culture & Mission, New MonasticismAgainst the prevailing Western models, influenced by the values and principles of international commerce, presented here are five “signs of life,” showcased by a network of movements best known by many as “new friars.”
· Jose Penate-Aceves, Darren Prince and John B. Hayes of InnerCHANGE
· Phileena Heuertz, David Chronic and Christopher Heuertz of Word Made Flesh
· Derek Engdahl and Jean-Luc Krieg of Servant Partners
· Craig and Nayhouy Greenfield of Servants to Asia’s Urban Poor
· Ash Barker of Urban Neighbours of Hope.
God’s kingdom in the hands of the people of God, the contributors show us, is first and foremost incarnational, which leads necessarily to gospel witness that is devotional, communal, missional and marginal. With a survey of the history of new friar movements and commentary by forerunner Viv Grigg, this seminal book paints a picture of mission that is new only because it has been neglected for so long, a mission that is truly good news to the people in its path.
