Back in November, we joined for conversation about ‘The City is my Monastery’ by Richard Carter. It proved a popular choice, including with those who weren’t able to come - so we’re offering another chance to come together for conversation about our responses to this remarkable book. Whether you came before, or whether you’re reading it for the first time, you’ll be very welcome.

‘Richard Carter swapped a life of simplicity with an Anglican religious order in the Solomon Islands for parish ministry in one of London's busiest churches, St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Seeing a need for monastic values in the centre of the city, he founded the Nazareth Community. Its members gather from everyday life to seek God in contemplation, to replenish stressed lives, to acknowledge their dependence on God's grace and to learn to live generously.

Part story, part spiritual meditation, The City is My Monastery offers spiritual wisdom for daily life rooted in the Nazareth Community's seven guiding principles: Silence, Service, Scripture, Sacrament, Sharing, Sabbath Time and Staying.‘
