Background on Ian Mobsby

I have been involved in alternative forms of church associated with anglicanism and contextual mission for over 16 years beginning with the dance and rave culture In England in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I have completed research on Anglican Emerging church projects, and has written two books:

“Emerging & Fresh Expressions of Church” in 2007

“The Becoming of G-d” published in Junel 2008

I was one of the founders of the Moot Community in Westminster London, and is the Ordained Priest Missioner to this innovative Community. This community utilises a new monastic basis to its identity with a rhythm of life (aiming to be Christian in the context of urban and postmodern context) exploring creative ways of understanding alternative worship, contextual mission and a postmodern community. The community utilises art-as-mission and radical hospitality activities as forms of affirming contextual mission. I am also an Associate Missioner of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Fresh Expressions Team and an Associate Lecturer at a number of training colleges for training Missional Ordained Pioneer Church of England Ministers. I am also an Assistant Editor of the UK based Emerging Church internet site and assists Karen Ward in the now growing Anglimergent site which aims to promote Emerging Churches working in the context of the Anglican tradition. Ian also has his own blog and contributes to the Moot community blog. If you are interested in resources I and Moot have created then there are a number of online free resources on the Moot website grey space and at cost through the Mootique.

Moot Community and its arts cafe lounge vision in the City of London

Some will know that some of us in moot have had a vision of developing an arts cafe lounge in central London for nearly 15 years. We have been to see what the Spurriergate Centre in York have done, COTA in Seattle, Sanctus 1 and Nexus in Manchester, and some church army initiatives around the UK.

We are pleased that we are making progress with setting up our own in the square mile in London, and more news about that shortly.

We are therefore…

While I haven’t as yet become a part of any New Monasticism community, I will be doing my sabbatical with the Rutba House community in Durham, N.C. in February. We will see how things progress after that. I’ll keep you posted.-Fr. Tom+

I coordinate the Order of St Stephen in NZ.
below are our two statements:
• To build a network of young Anglicans aged 16 to 30 years, committed to their faith and to each other, living out ministry and mission through prayer, community and service.
• To maximize and resource the development of the Order of Saint Stephen across the diocese.

Tim Mathis is looking at establishing a sister order in the US. as you are friends with him im probably stating the obvious..

in NZ: Small group at the moment 6 members its existed since 2003 from Wellington Diocese.
Members develope a life rule around Prayer, community, and service.
I joined in 2005 then in 2007 Network coordinator steped down, i took over and began making the Order more of a National Order.
one of the things we now face is how dispersed we are spread accross NZ. Next thing will be to establish core groups in Diocese.

Order of St Stephen had exsisted in the 1960's and 70's in NZ thru Methodist church, then Anglican and Prebyterians started up their own also. They joined forces then over time it lost momentum and disappeared .

so what we have done is a relaunch but with a different focus. previously OSS was an internship type thing or seen as a cheap way to get a youth worker for a year or two....

now it is focused around Prayer Community and Service. 4 retreats a year, one of those being a national retreat where all members gettogher...

hope that helps to answer your question, once again sorry to take so long..
Regards,

Brad

Thanks for the complement - I am very glad you liked it. It was written from the guts - such a shame it has such a low profile, so any blog exposure can give, the better
Cheers

I was first interested in the topic by Leonardo Boff's books Trinity and Society and Holy Trinity, Perfect Community. I appreciate you bringing such a necessary discussion of the subject to our emerging communities.

Paz y esperanza,
