The Brotherhood of St. Gregory

Thanks to Fr Tobias Haller (New York) for this portrait of the Brotherhood of St. Gregory gathered for its community photo two weeks ago at the Mt. Alvernia Retreat House.

For more about the Brotherhood, see http://gregorians.org/ : “The Brotherhood of Saint Gregory is a Christian Community of The Episcopal Church, its Communion Partners, and the worldwide Anglican Communion, whose members follow a common rule and serve the church on parochial, diocesan, and national levels. Members — clergy and lay, without regard to marital status — live individually, in small groups, or with their families. They support themselves and the community through their secular or church-related work, making use of their God-given talents in the world while not being of the world. The trust that all labor and life can be sanctified is summed up in the community’s motto: Soli Deo Gloria, To God Alone the Glory.” The Brotherhood is an exciting manifestation of “the new monasticism”, an innovative approach to the Christian religious life in the contemporary world.
