About this Event
The Community at the Crossing is an ecumenical program for spiritual formation in the heart of New York City, at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It is for any Christian between 21-33 years old, from all church backgrounds, and anywhere in the US.
Members spend a year in prayer and discernment, biblical and theological formation, intentional community, service, and mission, and choose as their sisters and brothers people who are radically different from themselves.
We believe that being ‘interrupted by God’ is the best thing that can happen to anyone. We believe as Christians that there is far more that unites us than divides us and that our world is in desperate need of people who can model true unity, which is born from reconciliation, truth, and the humility of shared life.
"In the book of the Acts of the Apostles, at the birth of the Church, the followers of Christ committed themselves to prayer, to the breaking of bread and to the apostles’ teaching. Throughout the centuries groups of men and women have committed themselves to live in religious communities, to pursue these same principles in a huge diversity of ways. The religious life matters profoundly to the Church. It has always been the place where renewal begins - without communities of prayer of one kind or another, one doesn't see renewal.
Join us for a presentation and conversation with members of the Community at the Crossing. Find out more about ways of journeying with the Community through their rhythms of prayer, study, and shared life. Also learn about Community at the Crossing's "Companion" program for adults over 35.
The Community at the Crossing builds upon the model of intentional contemplative communities worldwide, drawing inspiration primarily from the Community of St. Anselm and collaborating with the Chemin Neuf Community (a Roman Catholic community with an ecumenical vocation).
We look forward to seeing you!
