mootuk show

Summary: <br> Ian Mobsby discusses with Shane Claiborne, the vision of New Monasticism, and the practical implications of living this particular form of ecclesial community, and the calling to a radical lifestyle. Shane is one of the leading voices in a growing movement of New Monasticism in the United States. <br> <br> His first book, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Irresistible-Revolution-Living-Ordinary-Radical/dp/0310266300/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1260901258&amp;sr=8-1">The Irresistable Revolution</a> is a key envisioning texts for all those interested or involved in New Monasticism. It has been a core text for many involved in New Monasticism in the UK and Europe. In this book Shane outlines his experiences of working as a volunteer in Calcutta in India, in a community overseen by Mother Teressa, and how this opened up a whole way of being Christian that up to that point, he had been unaware of. Shane is a founding Member of <a href="http://www.thesimpleway.org/">the Simple Way Community</a> in Philedelphia, one of the early new-monastic communities. <br> <br> Be prepared to be inspired! Lets keep up with Shane's visit to Iraq in January 2010, and hopefully we may even have him a long to a moot event in the not too distant future.<br> <a href="http://mootuk.podbean.com/mf/web/2y9j3j/shaneclaiborne.mp3">Download Standard Podcasts</a><br>
