Richard Carter swapped a life of simplicity with an Anglican religious order in the Solomon Islands for parish ministry in one of London's busiest churches, St Martin-in-the-Fields.
Seeing a need for monastic values in the centre of the city, he founded the Nazareth Community. Its members gather from everyday life to seek God in contemplation, to acknowledge their dependence on God’s grace and to learn to live openly and generously with all.
Part story, part spiritual meditation, The City is My Monastery offers spiritual wisdom for daily life rooted in the Nazareth Community’s seven guiding principles: Silence, Service, Scripture, Sacrament, Sharing, Sabbath Time and Staying.
Richard Carter is a priest at St Martin-in-the-Fields in central London and leader of its Nazareth Community, a new monastic community in the Church of England. He is the author of In Search of the Lost, a moving account of the murder of seven members of Melanesian Brotherhood during his time with them. Samuel Wells is a noted Anglican writer, scholar and priest. Ordained in the Church of England, he is current the Vicar of St-Martin's-in-the-Fields, London. He is the author of several acclaimed books.
