Hi, folks, I'm giving serious consideration to the possibility of my becoming a monk in the Anglican Church at some point soon. I wondered, does anyone know of any links that might help? Thanks.

You know you have to take a vow of celibacy and that includes women?

Is it allowed to have a vlog? How about "Hardcore Monk Lifestyle 3000" ? I would like to know is monastery food anything like this:

That's the most important question, isn't it ?

EJA, I'm an atheist so I cannot help you with links, however if I were you I would just go there and talk to one of their representatives. If not go to your local church and ask for guidance.

Here are a few links. Though some, if not all of these, seem to be Catholic.

I would recommend that you reach out to your local church for more information and guidelines.

With the impending global conflict, is it worth it though?

What impending global conflict?

I'm not telling you to do it one way or the other, but people became monks in much worse times/conflicts than we're living through now.
