The Tau Community of Saint Francis is at present a geographical dispersed lay monastic community of brothers and sisters whose idealism is rooted in love of God and one’s neighbor.
Our way of life is not part of the historic Church but more on the periphery where our shared values are influenced by the Cosmic Christ, whom we accept is the Son of God and whose Love has been encapsulated within the teachings of both the Buddha and the Prophets.
As followers of Saint Francis –we have adopted his ideaism by creating a sacred canopy of a modern day approach to monastic life and recognising God in everyone regardless of their religious persuasion, etc.
Pre-requesites for a fruitful and healthy lay monastic community are:
- That we embrace our availability and vulnerability.
· That we embrace the Natural World-the Franciscan Soul, through simplicity.
· That we embrace all faiths by demonstrating God’ equality to everyone, regardless of belief, sexuality or political correctness.
· A life of simplicity rooted in prayer, joy and service to all faiths.
· That we embrace the rhythm of the soul in our souls longing for God and intimacy.
·That we embrace the heart and nurture a non hierarchal monastic life.
The Vision of the Tau 'Interfaith' Monastic Community of St. Francis will be as the effect of a rippling pool; by honoring One's Divine Flame and allowing it to burn brightly, it will spread light in the whole world.
Our 'Little Way' of living a monastic spiritual life of Franciscan simplicity from our monasteries without walls, is underpinned by 7 Keys of ancient wisdom taught by the Essenes and demonstrated in the lives of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, Quan Yin, Saint's Francis and Therese of Lisieux, Buddha and the Prophets-empowering the soul embrace spiritual wholeness and personal intimacy with one's God....................please click here
