The Northumbria Community describes a network of hugely diverse people, from different backgrounds, streams and edges of the Christian faith. Inspired by, drawing from, and living in the spiritual tradition of monasticism, they are united in their desire to embrace and express an ongoing exploration into a new way for living Christianly.

Spend a quiet moment with God. Pray the morning, mid-day, or evening office.

In his years of teaching at Notre Dame, Yale and Harvard, in his ministry to the privileged and to the poor, in his hundreds of sermons and lectures, and in his thirty-five books, Henri Nouwen sketched out for us a vision of community that is inclusive, compassionate, creative and, most importantly, sustainable.

Nouwen's vision is distinctive because it represents a spirituality of relatedness that leaves nothing and no one out.
