24-7 Prayer in many contexts straddles Free Church and Episcopal traditions. More importantly we are ‘charismatic’ and both ‘monastic’ in orientation. We love both the gathered Church and embrace the importance of the rediscovery of Ephesians 4 ministries, including that of the apostle in today’s Church. At the same time we believe that the rediscovery of monasticism and its contextualisation into contemporary culture is vital if we are going to see the revival of the church and the rewiring of the culture. Enter what we have often called ‘Aposto-monasticism’.
