An interview with the people who started Urban Monastics

Submitted by Andrew Perriman on Wed, 06/02/2021 - 09:33

This is an interview with Paul and Jordan Prins and Sheila Wittenberg about their Urban Monastics project. They have some really good things to say about cross-cultural mission in Western Europe, their reasons for starting an “ecumenical monastic community,” and the values and vision that they are seeking to put into practice.

It's about an hour long, but there's three of them, and my questions get a bit bloated sometimes. We start talking about Urban Monastics around the 15 minute mark. The audio quality is a bit uneven in places, but hopefully that won’t be too distracting. You can also listen to it on Podbean.
