Alan J Munday (Most Rev. Dom) replied to Ian Mobsby's discussion Pilot Distance Learning Course on Monastic Spirituality in Everyday Christian Living’ A formation course in Monastic Spirituality Certificate and Honours Award"I know it is not quite the same thing as the course offered by Monos, but for those who might like to get their teeth into relevant studies, free of charge, those provided for Cistercians, called Exordium might be of interest. They represent a…"
Alan J Munday (Most Rev.

Profile Information
- What is your connection to new monasticism?
- I seek to follow the Rule of St Benedict as an Ecumenical Cistercian at home.
- Are you involved in some form of intentional community or community of intention?
- Member of the Lay Community of St Benedict ( see http://www.laybenedictines.org/html/about.html )
- Are you involved in some form of emerging or fresh expression of church?
- As an archbishop (Catholic/Orthodox) I seek to serve without the kind of pomp and remoteness often manifested with many bishops. I would love to have a local (perhaps home) church in my area, but this will depend on people feeling led towards this as well.

Elisa said… Br Bede,
I hope you will forgive my chiming in.
First Alan welcome to the COS group.
Second,what a profound and Spirit filled interaction you describe with the man who commented about not believing in God. Thank you for taking the time to ask him the question that allowed him to go deeper. I think that the Holy Spirit was given an opportunity to shine.
I too believe that the Holy Spirit is at work "to bridge the gap" and this is one of our roles as new monastics. I think we can begin to seal this divide if we live a life of heartfelt discipleship. Br Peter presented a series of homilies this last summer that explored discipleship. They included five steps: 1. Listen. 2. Pray. 3. Surrender 4. Do something and 5. Enjoy. I believe that these are truly all very important aspects of the new monasticism. If we, as monastics, live with our hearts open to these steps I think we become "the bridge" God is seeking and people will remember God and believe in the "church" again.
Thank you for allowing me to share in the conversation.
Prayers and Peace to you,
Elisa
