The Blackfriars Community is a dispersed new monastic community in London, founded in response to a struggling parish. 2 years old, it is a small but flourishing community with an emphasis on contemplative prayer and seeks to be a place of welcome for all, including the ‘un-churched’ and spiritual seekers.
In this interview, Ian shares more on the Blackfriars Community whilst also generously sharing his wisdom from setting up other Christian communities. Knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about new monasticism this is deeply enriching interview and a must-listen for anyone curious about the importance of Christian community/new monasticism for the Church today.
