Principles of the First Order of the Society of Saint Francis (PDF)
Our dream is to establish a religious community for men in the Anglican church.
We want to be disciples of Christ and to serve him in the church and in the world around us by a life of:
poverty - living simply
chastity - offering our lives to God
obedience - being faithful to discern God's call
We will serve God by a balanced life of
prayer - daily office, mass, meditation
study - to know more about God and to develop our gifts for ministry
work - our own house work, ministry in the church and in the world
We want to develop a style of community life where we can grow in
humility - recognising our limitations and our need for God's grace
love - receiving God's gift of love for each other
joy - knowing that Christ is the source of a deep happiness that never fades.
We want to serve Christ by various ministries.
among Christians helping them grow in the experience of prayer
among those who need rest and refreshment and a time of retreat
developing our witness as an Anglican community open to all Christians and promoting ecumenical dialogue
