Introduction to the community
The Community of Aidan and Hilda is a dispersed, international and ecumenical community drawing particular inspiration from Celtic Christian spirituality as embodied by saints such as Aidan and Hilda.
We welcome people of all backgrounds and countries who wish to be wholly available to the Trinity and to the way of Jesus as revealed to us in the Bible.
Our vision is to live a holistic Christian spirituality for today, to be a renewed people who journey with God, to develop resources for emerging and existing churches, and to heal broken people and fragmented communities.
Members follow a Way of Life, with a soul friend, based on a rhythm of prayer and study, simplicity, care for creation, and mission.
