Building up the Church: Exploration of New Monasticism

This Saturday (the 21st) there is a great event happening in DC!

Monasticism has always helped the church remember who she is. This event is designed to help local churches learn about what new monasticism is and what it means for the church. Come and explore five practices that are emerging from new monastic communities: reading Scripture as the story of God’ people, relocation to abandoned places, economic sharing, gospel peacemaking, and cultivating a culture of grace and truth. This is a single day event, hosted by the Servant Leadership School (1640 Columbia Road NW, Washington DC).

Lunch will be provided. Registration cost is $30/person for those who are able to pay. Register online at http://newmonasticism.org/events.php

As you may or may not know, I live in a New Monastic community, so this is something really important to me.  Let me know if you are going.  I’d love to carpool.
