We live with a generous disposability: a freedom from "I want". What you thought you came for was only the shell husk. What we are discovering is beyond our previous imaginings, but only possible when we let go of the need to possess or cling. Dispossession is at the heart of religious life; it creates the space for becoming.

The Nazareth Community
Silence, Sacrament, Service, Scripture, Sharing, Sabbath and Staying With
The Nazareth Community is a community that gathers at St Martin-in-the-Fields on the edge of Trafalgar Square, seeking God in contemplation and prayer and learning to live generously and compassionately. It follows a simple seven-fold contemporary rule of life.
The Companions of Nazareth follow the same contemporary rule of life but come from all parts of the country and world and gather online for times of prayer and contemplation and each year for retreats.
St Martin-in-the-Fields is the Mother House of the Community, where all are welcome.
