Fire at The Simple Way

Doug just emailed me and wanted the rest of you to know that there was a fire at The Simple Way and surrounding homes yesterday morning. You can visit the website for more details. Please keep these families, who have lost everything, in your prayers. I know that they are also taking up donations to rebuild for The Simple Way and the neighboring families.

A New Monasticism from Shane Claiborne"s The Irresistible Revolution

Relocation to the abandoned places of empire.
Sharing economic resources with fellow community members and the needy among us.
Hospitality to the stranger.
Lament for racial divisions within the church and our communities, combined with the active pursuit of a just reconciliation.
Humble submission to Christ's body, the church.
Intentional formation in the way of Christ and the rule of the community, along the lines of the old novitiate.
Nurturing commom life among members of an intentional community.
Support for celibate singles alongside monogamous married couples and their children.
Geographical proximity to community members who share a commom rule of life.
Care for the plot of God's earth given to us, along with support of our local economies.
Peacemaking in the midst of violence, and conflict resolution within communities along the lines of Matthew 18:15-20.
Commitment to a disciplined contemplative life.
