New Monasticism

Rowan Williams wrote that historically, whenever the church fails to be what its members expect, a new monasticism has arisen. “New Monasticism” seems to be a buzz phrase these days. Here at Ffald-y-Brenin a scattered community of people are linking with us as we explore a form of new Monasticism which is church affirming, life-giving, burrowing into the heart of God and thoroughly grounded in the needs of this world. We draw on the rich history of the Celtic missional monasticism and of the spirituality of the desert and Benedictine monasticism.

Explorer days offer the opportunity to learn more about our ethos, principles and practices. For those who want to explore further we have regular “Sanctuary” days.
