| Worth Abbey is an adventure in Christian living - an adventure which has
at its heart a community of Benedictine monks. These men seek to follow the Gospel of
Jesus Christ within a framework provided by their Rule of Life and their Abbot. Worth
draws its inspiration from the ancient Rule of St.Benedict, adapting it to modern needs.
A view inside the churchThe monks of Worth maintain the traditional rhythm of prayer and reading, work and relaxation. They meet in the church five times a day to sing God's praises. The community continues the Benedictine tradition of education in its school. The Worth Abbey Lay Community works in partnership with the Monastic Community to provide hospitality to visitors and to meet local needs. Pastoral work in the Abbey Parish and the Diocese and projects for the Third World, are also an important part of the monastic witness to the Gospel. Many people join the monks in their prayer and work, helping to build up Worth as a Christian centre at the service of God and people. |
