Haven & OCC
@havenreligious.org
A new religious community in two parts:
Haven Religious: our umbrella, seeking to offer Christian Community in the Episcopal tradition for seekers.
The Order of the Body of Christ (OCC) a religious order in the Episcopal tradition, nestled within.
Pinned
Follow us for commentary on our #RuleofLife, our collection of #axioms, and our building of a new religious community, a new religious order. We love the tradition, and we do not worship the tradition. We love scripture, and we believe in interpretation. We love reason, and believe in mystery. 🕯️⚓️
Happy Pentecost from our morning prayer! 🕯️

Speaking of gifts, St Francis house is transitioning and gave us this altar, seen here newly polished and installed. In furniture miracles, the tabernacle we got from closed Christ Church Norwich fit the tabernacle nook exactly. ⚓🕯️

An arguably big day for Haven Religious: Our 1st day living as a community without Amazon Prime. We are attempting to divest from billionaire-support as best we can. Of course, not all small businesses are good nor are all large businesses bad, but your recs for awesomely ethical shopping welcome! 🕯️

Rule/Commentary: First, St. Albert: The Prior’s cell should stand near the entrance to your property, so that he may be the first to meet those who approach, and whatever has to be done in consequence may all be carried out as he may decide or order.

Rule/commentary pairing, first, St. Albert:
"Many and varied are the ways in which our saintly forefathers laid down how everyone, ..., should live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ — how, pure in heart and steadfast in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of the Master." ⚓️🕯️

Our customary contains many axioms! The Axiom of Criticism: When a situation is “not as YOU would have it,” assume neither (A) that it IS as others want it, nor (B) that it is NOT as others want it. Adopt curiosity, inquire and discover what others think and feel about the thing you’re observing. 🕯️⚓

So, what is our #RuleofLife? There are two *basic* options: choose an ancient rule or write your own. As you'll see is our basic vibe, we've gone both ways! We adopted the Rule of St. Albert, the traditional Carmelite Rule, but we have our own takes on it! www.ocds.info/LegislativeD...
