In 2009 I wrote a book about the phenomenon of new monasticism in the UK. It was intended to document the new monastic ‘scene’ in the UK at the time, and to reflect a little on what new monasticism represented, where it had come from, and where it is likely to go.

It remains a very useful document of a movement which is still a vital and underground part of the British Church. I met many wonderful people in the course of researching that book, some of whom remain my very good friends today.
