I’ll be presenting at a “Fridays at the Seminary” day long conference here at Virginia Seminary tomorrow. I’ll be referring a great deal to “new monasticism.” This is a paper I wrote, which I think is a fair introduction to the topic. This only covers “residential” models, so it’s a bit limited, but a decent intro I think.

I’d also encourage folks to check out Ian Mobsby’s new book on New Monasticism when it comes out next Spring…much more comprehensive and up to date.
