Synchroblog on new monasticism
Some Protestants have been talking a lot recently about a "new monasticism" and this month a group of us have been havinfg a synchroblog on the topic -- posting blogs on the same day on the same general theme.
If you are interested you can find my contribution at Treasures old and new, with links to the posts by the other contributors.
Though the idea is new to many of those who are now discussing it, and trying to practise it, it actually has quite a long history. Even today there are old relics like me who can remember, with old hippie nostalgia, the Christian (and other) communes of the late 1960s and early 1970s. There were Cathoplic groups like the Catholic Worker communities and The Grail, and Protestant ones as well.
