We try to live with balance and patience. We hasten slowly. We study to be quiet. We fall upwards. We listen and watch and speak what we know to be true. We aim not for rigidity but for harmony. It is when we find that harmony and balance that we also have the confidence to improvise.

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.
