Oblate Blog: New Monasticism - Northumbria Community in France

L'Abri a Suvigny

We are establishing a Christian Community Retreat Centre in Southern Normandy – France – being established for people to come and stay, living within a monastic rhythm to the day.
Its inspiration and vision comes from the Celtic tradition of Christianity, deriving much from the Celtic Saints of Europe, as well as the Desert Fathers and Mothers of the Middle East.
Its core religious beliefs are based on a simple Christian creed, with a firm commitment to the triune God, ‘seeking His face’ as ‘the one thing necessary’; thereafter being prepared to go ‘wherever the Father leads.’

Ses principales croyances religieuses sont fondées sur une simple croyance chrétienne, avec un engagement ferme en faveur du Dieu trinitaire, "la recherche de son visage» comme «la seule chose nécessaire»; ensuite être prêt à aller «là où le Père conduit".
