New monasticism is a pro-church movement. Not everyone is called to live a monastic life, but the practices of monastic communities should always be good news for the church. SFC’s new Building Up the Church curriculum is an opportunity to explore what you and your church can learn from monasticism, the oldest form of counter-culture in the West.

New Monasticism: What It Has to Say to Today’s Church (Baker) is Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove’s introduction to new monasticism and the gifts it has to offer the church in a time a rapid change. Sam Ewell’s Building Up the Church: Experiments in Faith, Hope, and Love (Wipf and Stock) is an interactive study guide based on Jonathan’s book, designed to lead small groups into an authentic engagement with new monasticism.

We’re excited about the support these materials have already received from people across the spectrum of American Christianity. Evangelical author and preacher Tony Campolo celebrates how they make “the lifestyle of Jesus a realistic possibility in our present age.” Our Franciscan brother, Fr. Richard Rohr, says, “new monasticism is discovering what is always rediscovered–and always bears great life for the gospel.” Phyllis Tickle, an authority on American religion has called the book “rich in personal and historical insights… both beguiling and highly credible.”

These are American published resources. We can obtain a discount. 1-4 copies (20%), or 5 or more (40%) off of the Wipf & Stock published item (Building up the Church). So if you want to obtain a larger discount, contact us and we can place one order directly. Otherwise, email Wipf and Stock by clicking here. If people are interested we’ll talk to Baker Books and see about discounting on “New Monasticism”.

We’re are continuing to develop resources for these islands – the latest being a daily prayer resource for action, involvement, and remembrance. If you’d like to contribute to this or other projects in any way get in touch – collaboration is the mother of faith and creativity.
