Tell me more about the wandering monks very interested thanks. God blessA young woman from Finland stayed with us last week, having walked the Camino Portugues from the Algarve and now "a reves" toward France. She wore a dark brown habit and tonsured hair, but no veil. She´d left her convent in Tenerife to follow another calling.
She and several other religious wanderers (including the ubiquitous Sister Anna) are gathering in Aubrac, France this summer to discuss formation of a mendicant religious order, based on the original wandering monks of St. Francis of Assisi. Those who feel called to a consecrated lifetime of spiritual travel, within a framework of strict Christian discipline and discipleship, might consider this... They do not wish to interfere or compete with existing groups, and so far there are no bars as to gender, denomination, or marital status -- it is a contemporary look at a very old idea.
I know few details of the proposed group or their gathering. I don´t think at this point they are interested in philosophical debate or online chitchat, as they are on the road and their email time is very limited. Those with a serious interest can PM me for contact information.

You, of course, are technically correct."Wondering monks" is an oxymoronic descriptor. Sorry, but the truth.
This seems too deep and I can't quite figure it out, or be sure if it applies to "wandering monks.""Wondering monks" is an oxymoronic descriptor.
Ye"Wondering monks" is an oxymoronic descriptor. Sorry, but the truth.
I think that the idea is that monks, by definition, live secluded in monasteries. If they are off wandering among the rest of us, then they aren't monks by that definition. I believe that if they are off wandering among the rest of us they are called "friars", but I might be wrong there.This seems too deep and I can't quite figure it out, or be sure if it applies to "wandering monks."
Hello! I was not sure how to pm you. I would be very curious to know if there is an update on this? My being has been calling to be a part of an order like what it sounds like they were proposing. I would be be very grateful to hear more !A young woman from Finland stayed with us last week, having walked the Camino Portugues from the Algarve and now "a reves" toward France.
