Welcome to the home of the Northumbria Community online

We hope you'll enjoy your visit, and find what you're looking for.

Welcome to our website, filled with news and information about the Northumbria Community. We're adding new stuff all the time, and if you're 'just looking' then you're welcome to come in and browse around. If you're looking for something in particular, then we hope you'll find it here! You can receive notifications each time pages are updated, by using the 'rss feed'. You can click the rss link at the bottom of any page, whenever it's present, to receive notifications of changes to that page. The rss icon is the orange square with the white dot and two squiggles in it.

If you arrived at Acton Home Farm, the Mother House of the Northumbria Community, the first thing we'd probably do is put the kettle on, and have a blether... so what's the online equivalent of that? Just come on in and make yourself at home, and you'll find the answers to some of your questions about the Northumbria Community... eventually... probably..

Sing to the Well

donondoman drummers Our good friends and Community Companions Martin and Bekah Neil have been intimately involved in a project to record the Wagogo people in Africa, in order to provide wells in their villages. Trust me, you need to buy this CD and DVD set. It may well change your life, and it will certainly change theirs... You can order it from our Resources area.

Journeying With Hild – Activities and Resources for Easter and beyond

hild Important resources are now available here and here - do explore them and think about how you will use them, at Easter and beyond.

The Renewal of Vows liturgy is available to download here.

The Easter Workshop gatherings have always been important annual events in the life of the Northumbria Community, providing creative opportunities to express our togetherness and to listen to and learn from each other. The Community’s expansion across continents presents us with both amazing opportunities and challenges. How do we foster a sense of togetherness? How do we learn from and listen to each other across cultures and miles? How do we provide a means to hear all the voices? How do we express both the privilege and responsibility of being in Community together? What does Availability and intentional Vulnerability look like at a whole Community level?
