Community of the Transfiguration : The Journey of a New Monastic Community Paperback / softback
by Paul R. Dekar
Paperback / softback
Description
In the 1930s, German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer anticipated the restoration of the Church after the coming Second World War through a new kind of monasticism, a way of life of uncompromising adherence to the Sermon on the Mount in imitation of Christ.
Since then, the renewal of Christian monasticism has become a great spiritual movement.
Imbued with a love for God and neighbour, and with a healthy self-love, people are going to monasteries to deepen their relationship with God, to pray, and to find peace.
While some monastic institutions are suffering a decline in traditional vocations, many Christians are exploring monastic lifestyles.
This book introduces The Community of the Transfiguration in Australia, the story of a new monastic community and an inspiring source of hope for the world at another time of spiritual, social, and ecological crisis.
