Description - Oneness by Stephen Platten
Oneness considers the role monastic life plays within the life of the contemporary church.
Using a focus on the life, practice and history of the Shepherds Law community as a starting point, the book broadens the discussion to consider how such communities negotiate the boundary between the solitary life and life within their community.
With a foreword from Justin Welby and an afterword from Rowan Williams.
