The Northumbria Community

About the Author

The Northumbria Community is a dispersed Christian community rooted in the ancient Celtic traditions of the Northumbrian landscape, where members live out a rhythm of prayer, work, and hospitality in intentional simplicity. Founded in the late 20th century, the community draws inspiration from the early desert fathers and mothers, as well as the monastic heritage of Lindisfarne, fostering a life of contemplative spirituality amid the demands of modern existence. Their writings and liturgical resources, born from years of communal discernment and worship, offer seekers a pathway to deeper communion with God, emphasizing themes of pilgrimage, Sabbath rest, and the sacredness of daily life. Through their collective voice, the Northumbria Community invites readers to journey 'farther up and farther in' toward transformative faith.
