Research Bulletin No.05 Winter 09/10

This issue is themed around the Seven Sacred Spaces, as written about in Encounters on the Edge no.43 (released December 2009).

In it George puts forward an idea that the monastic life has evolved 7 spaces that sustain and develop their communities. These being cell, chapel, chapter, cloister, garden, refectory & scriptorium. He also argues it applies equally to local church. You may find it helpful to have a read through the issue to get a better understanding of what we are exploring here.
