Saint Anselm, a Benedictine monk and brilliant scholar, was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1093-1114. His motto of ‘faith seeking understanding’ reminds us that the faith journey begins with an active love of God – and from this love a deeper knowledge of God follows. Anselm became a monk when he was 27 – when he first enquired about the possibility, aged 15, he was turned away.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is inviting Christians aged 20-35 from around the world to spend one year in a radical Jesus-centred community of prayer, study and serving local communities – all based at Lambeth Palace in London.
