A good many American communities are represented on these overview web pages. Each order is linked to a summary page with a description and contact information. The Brotherhood of St Gregory was founded on Holy Cross Day 1969. Members of the Brotherhood of St Gregory work in secular jobs such as nurses, teachers, and social workers while others work for the church on the parochial, diocesan or national levels. Some work as parish administrators, musicians, liturgists, pastoral care workers, and chaplains at hospitals.
Membership includes men and women, married and single, adults and children, clergy and laity.
The Community's mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by living in community and offering ourselves in service to the Church and to the world'. The Community of the Holy Spirit Founded in 1952 in New York City, CHS is 'an Episcopal monastic community for women called by God to witness to the Holy Spirit in the church and the world, and to foster and express unity in diversity in its life and work'. Anglican monasteries for men are few in number and unfamiliar. Ours is exceptional in the British isles because of the size of its church and community buildings at Mirfield. We combine our Anglican heritage with that living monastic tradition which gives priority to daily corporate worship and also engages in a wide range of activities at home and away.
