About The Locals
In general, we're a loose affiliation of folk from around Victoria, BC seeking to grapple with the good news of Christ within the context of postmodernity and our neighbourhoods, but you can read what we have to say more specifically here

some very interesting reading. I'll admit, there is part of me that feels that this is out of my reach...but there are elements that are worth exploring.
I think I visited the Reba community in the early 70s - will have to check with my folks.
I think it becomes out of reach, in thinking we have to convert church congregations into monastic communities. I would love to see churches plant a few monastic communities, support and nurture them. I also don't think we can just cookie cutter Neo-Monastic communities using models from ancient days. I do believe we need to lean back, dig through there history, their faith stories, and gleen the stuff that would most enhance a Neo-Monasticism in the world and culture we find ourselves today. I think too, each community will end up writing there own rule from what they value the most.
