1   Link   A History of Monastic Spirituality
A rich resource of information about the history of monasticism written by Luc Bresard of the Abbey of Citeaux.
2   Link   Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Bonhoeffer, the German theologian who stood out against the Nazis and paid for that with his life in the closing days of the Second World War, has been one of the key influences on the life of the Northumbria Community.
3   Link   Iona (the band)
Iona's music has deservedly been a great inspiration - certainly to many within the Northumbra Community.
4   Link   rejesus
A very thoughtfully constructed site based on the life of Jesus, but also exploring contemporary spirituality. It is highly interactive, with active discussion panels on community and spirituality issues.
5   Link   The Desert Fathers
An excellent archive of articles giving information about the Desert Fathers.
6   Link   The Ship of Fools
The zany, unsettling, online 'Magazine of Christian Unrest.'
7   Link   Thomas Merton
Thomas Merton, the American Trappist monk and prolific writer on spirituality has had a profound influence on the formation of the Northumbria Community.
8   Link   Journeying (incorporating Pilgrim Adventure)
Journeying is a small, non-profit-making, ecumenical organisation which takes small
groups of about 4-12 people on holiday in an informal Christian ambience to the more off-the-beaten-track parts of Britain and Ireland. What we offer is almost certainly unique in Britain. Its origins lie in Celtic spirituality and most of our trips still reflect that approach.
9   Link   Creative Prayer Retreats
This organisation provides themed retreats and quiet days for people to rest and reflect and is led by Jo Simpson, an Artist based in the East Scottish Borders. She is a Companion of the Northumbria Community and is an Affliliate of the Retreat Association.

Newsflash

We've created blogging-spaces for both Roy Searle and Pete Askew.  Pete is blogging about the Mother House.  Roy does a lot of travelling out and about in the Community, and so he's always full of stories and reflection.  And he likes to write!  So we should find these pages fill up nicely...  Remember that the newest items will always appear at the top of the page.

Trevor Miller isn't one for blogging really, but he's got loads of great material to share in the 'Sharing Wisdom' section of the Resources Area.
