The life of our prayer underpins the life of service: Martha can do her work only if she regularly joins Mary in silent meditation . Prayer leads us to practice justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God.

The Nazareth Community
Silence, Sacrament, Service, Scripture, Sharing, Sabbath and Staying With
The Nazareth Community is a community that gathers at St Martin-in-the-Fields on the edge of Trafalgar Square, seeking God in contemplation and prayer and learning to live generously and compassionately. It follows a simple seven-fold contemporary rule of life.
The Companions of Nazareth follow the same contemporary rule of life but come from all parts of the country and world and gather online for times of prayer and contemplation and each year for retreats.
St Martin-in-the-Fields is the Mother House of the Community, where all are welcome.
