In the last two years a few Baptist ministers have been gathering together to explore some kind of monastic order. They have launched their website and will be meeting together in convocation (just meaning an assembly for special purpose) for the second time in November. They are still in the very early stages of discovering what belonging to this order will mean - although it is a commitment to a document they have called 'the dream' and to meeting in cells and using a daily office.
I am watching from the edges, not committing myself completely yet, but I am wanting to follow the journey. The daily offices are very good (there may be some light editing in the future) and at some point I hope they will organise to publish as a small booklet. We use the offices each week day in the morning prayer group at my church.
