Sad news about the Association, and yet what a wonderful opportunity to establish an Anglican Cistercian presence within the Cof E where each member will presumably help to bring a contemplative presence to their parish and faith community, guided by the Rule, and inspired by the great Cistercian spirit. I am sure that Our Lord's hand is in this.
I assure you I hold all in my prayers,
Bede.

'...the restoration of the church will surely come only from a new type of monasticism which has nothing in common with the old but a complete lack of compromise in a life lived in accordance with the Sermon on the Mount in the discipleship of Christ. I think it is time to gather people together to do this...'
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer (January 14, 1935)
