Whalley Abbey Resident Community is looking for more members
Do you feel called to live and work as part of a praying community in a retreat house based in the ruins of a 13th Century Abbey? Do you have a heart for a deepening of faith and being a witness to God’s work in the lives of all people? Are you maybe considering where God is calling you next?
We welcome committed Christians from different denominations who are happy to adopt the vision and orientation of the Abbey. We live as a new monastic community dedicated to prayer, hospitality and training in discipleship. In addition to working for Whalley Abbey, community members share life together, taking part in a regular programme, and have involvement in the Vine Community.
For more information and to ask for an application pack, please contact the Director Anna Walker: email anna.walker (at) whalleyabbey.org / phone 07484 118564.
