New Monasticism: Post Secularism, Contemplative Theology, and Spiritual Formation

I am well pleased to share a conversation I had recently with my new friend Ian Mobsby. Ian was awarded the St Dunstan’s medal by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 2019 for services to the church in developing new forms of religious/spiritual communities. In 2023 Ian moved to Canada to take up the senior position as the Diocesan Community Missioner working directly to the Bishop of Niagara to develop mission and missional communities.

We had a lovely discussion about the problems facing the church and western society as well as the possibility for ancient monastic wisdom to guide us into the next chapter of the human story. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed having it!
