Check the wikipedia article about the New Monasticism . I was noticing that the LWC Monastery will be establishing with similar ideals and will be drawing from similar sources of inspiration. Albeit, it is more eclectic and even less traditional. I will not definitively label LWC monastery as exactly a part of this movement or group just yet, because we will bring our own unique twist. However, by recognizing that it is related to a genuine grassroots movement, New Monasticism, it helps potential monks applying to understand that this is not a new idea, and it is no more in the fringes or outlandish than the original monasteries of the early medieval ages. Those monks were doing something new in their day too! We will have our version. And read the Learn More section if you are at all interested in joining the monastery!
