Description:Following his previous best-seller, 'Enfolded in Christ: The Inner Life of a Priest', and 'The Mystery of Faith: Exploring Christian Belief', this new book explores the wisdom offered to the world by the Religious Life as it has been lived for almost 2000 years, in particular, by Anglicans. It is concerned to show the way in which this life has a treasury of basic knowledge concerning human life and how we can live together. The Life has been present, in some form, in the Church from the beginning of Christianity and in the Anglican Communion for almost 200 years but is frequently overlooked or considered irrelevant yet has helped mould both individual well-being in Christ and the shape and wisdom of the Christian world. Whilst it uses stories concerning various communities it is not primarily intended to promote the Life, although it was written with a view to help those who may be considering their call. Chapters include: Seeking God and the wisdom of the Desert tradition; The Monastic Way and Contemplative Living; For the Sake of the Kingdom, offering insights into the way the Life responded to growing social needs; Habits and Hearts, looking at the way we express what lies most deeply within us; Priests and Prophets, reflecting on how the Life might inform both the ordained and those seeking to live prophetically, and The Hidden Monk, exploring the way the ‘monk’ (nun) lies in the depths of us all.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
