Mark does a credible presentation here of New Monasticism. Maybe I should add Mark to my Core Radicals page on my website. If you wish to gaine a better understanding of New Monasticism you might enjoy surfing my webpage.

There is no biblical support for a New Testament Church concept of Monasticism. Yes, the early church had "all things in common" but that is much different than the concept of Monasticism.
A biblical model of the Christian life is much different that the historic Monasticism or even the "new" Monasticism.
To be honest, I disagree. What did Paul say in 1Co 7:29-35? Everyone has different callings in Christ and monastics have done wonders after responding to their callings. Nuns in Europe used to run hospitals and schools. I thought that was pretty cool.
I agree. There is no biblical support for a New Monasticism as taught. We went through a New Mon teaching program in my own church and nearly everyone who knows their Bibles has left. Only a few young ones are left. No one cared that ppl left and if I disagreed with anything said it always led to an argument (New Monasitic term is 'debate' same as argument), so I now refer to it as Neo-Monasticim or New-Fascism. It is on the Spring Harvest program this y (UK). Don't waste your time on it.
well cowboy, no one ever claimed it as a brand new idea. and it is a far cry from the "social gospel". the social gospel is without christ. this is different. this is taking your faith and living out the gospel as one feels led. you would be hard pressed to find this to be heresy. we throw that word around alot. live it like you know it mark.
Monasticism began in the 4th century. It is the life blood of the Church.
Many monks have been martyred and many have through out history, come out of seclusion to defend the Church from heresies like Arianism. Many people here in the USA have left the hedonistic and materialistic way of life so prevalent here in America to seek God in prayer..in their own homes and have become a witness of Christ to the present day wicked and perverse generation.
Um...the social gospel has been around for over a hundred years. This isn't anything new. It sounds like the same old heresy that the Emergent Church is trying make out as "new".
to anyone who thinks that their church this is the best - "if you think you have found the perfect church, don't join it because then you'll ruin it"

Why is strammel getting the thumbs down when he is plainly right? Evolution is more credible that New Monasticism. Its tosh.
Bin it and read your Bibles.

Ohhh you, northamerican evangelical war-mongers!!
And then it isn't antibiblical your belief in a republican God?
And no, you dan't have to join a monastic comunity. As a southamerican I just hope from you to don't support imperialism anymore.

So....we are all supposed to go join a monastery now? I agree with cowboy4ev2, this is just an old heresy in somewhat new clothing. But not very new.
