Small missional communities
Our vision
is to facilitate, encourage and enable the growth of a network of small missional communities and projects in the UK.
This community has given me space to contribute whatever God has given me...has reawakened creativity in me, and has started to help me reconnect my faith and aspects of my life that had somehow come to inhabit separate boxes"

Cave Refectory Road
 Ian Adams's book Cave Refectory Road: monastic rhythms for contemporary living is out now - and is an excellent resource for thinking about missional community. It's available from Amazon and from the publisher Canterbury Press.

People are saying good things about it....
"If you know someone (perhaps yourself) who is spiritual but not religious I strongly suggest giving them this book. Ian Adams has beautifully and unabashedly mined the Christian monastic tradition and found gold for our spiritually impoverished time. You can find no better guide."
Nadia Bolz-Weber, founding pastor of House for all Sinners and Saints, a Lutheran mission church in Denver Colorado and author of 'Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television' (Seabury 2008).
"This book is a gem. For those seeking to follow in the way of Christ today, Ian opens up the gifts and insights of religious communities in a very imaginative fashion. He manages the difficult art of writing in a way that has real depth but is still accessible and easy to grasp. It's heartfelt and inspired."
Jonny Baker, author, blogger, CMS pioneer mission leadership team leader
"In Cave Refectory Road, Ian Adams has produced a book that can be guaranteed to open up new vistas for anyone searching for an authentic spirituality that will make sense in the context of today’s 24/7 world. By combining threads of wisdom long forgotten or overlooked and showing how they can be interwoven so as to offer fresh insights into our everyday challenges, Ian has crafted a rich tapestry of scriptural and historic patterns for living that will be both empowering and sustaining."
