The Community of the Resurrection (CR) is an Anglican religious community for men in England. It is based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire and has 22 members as of March 2012. The community reflects Anglicanism in its broad nature and is strongly engaged in the life of the Anglican Communion. It also has a long tradition of ecumenical outlook and practice. CR is dedicated to the mystery of Christ's resurrection. The rule of the community states that: "the Community of the Resurrection is called specially to public, prophetic witness to the Christian hope of the Kingdom. The common life and corporate worship of its members is properly made visible in its works, which embrace social and missionary concern...The dedication to the Resurrection does not indicate an obligation to particular works or particular places, but rather a commitment to make public the fruits of the community life and worship in order to proclam the world made new in Christ...its charism...is to live the baptismal vocation through a commitment to community life, sustained by common worship, and issuing in works that are primarily of a public character."〔Community of the Resurrection, Constitutions, Prologue〕 == Engagement == Since its foundation, the community has been active in pastoral teaching and mission in different parts of the Anglican Communion. In the 21st century the work has been based in the motherhouse in Mirfield and mainly focused on ministry connected with the Church of England. In co-operation with the local diocese, CR runs the Mirfield Centre with courses and lectures on aspects of Christianity for lay people. Connected with the community are also several Church of England teaching institutions: the College of the Resurrection (which was founded by CR in 1903 but became an independent Anglican theological training college in 2004), the Yorkshire Ministry Course (YMC) and the Wakefield School of Ministry. All theses institutions are on the same campus at Mirfield. In the last decades CR has become more Benedictine in its practice with a stronger focus on spiritual activities in the House of the Resurrection and counselling outside. The community has a friendship with the Roman Catholic Benedictine St. Matthias' Abbey in Trier, Germany. Central to the work of the community are the activities in its grand church (designed by Walter Tapper), which has been through a comprehensive restoration from 2009 to 2012. The community runs a retreat house with organised retreats (for individuals and groups) and has its own publishing house, Mirfield Publications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Community of the Resurrection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
