November’s Adult Formation theme is Monasticism.

As we conclude our November Adult Formation series on Monasticism and Intentional Living, join our clergy for an open conversation to bring together what we’ve learned and experienced throughout the month.

From Joyce Denham’s exploration of the biblical roots of monasticism to two contemporary expressions of monastic life—the residential community of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist and the dispersed Iona Community—we’ve explored how ancient traditions continue to shape intentional Christian living today.

Bring your questions, observations, and ideas as we reflect on what has inspired us, consider the role of monastic communities in the wider Church, and explore how what we’ve learned might enrich our own lives of faith.
