Order of Julian of Norwich
A contemplative monastic order in the Episcopal Church. They are currently located in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The order is open to both men and women. It is contemplative in that its purpose and goal is simply the practice and teaching of silent and intercessory prayer. The Order follows the traditional monastic vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, and adds a fourth vow: Prayer. Monks and nuns live in the same monastery on equal status under the same vows.
The Rule of Life for the Order of Julian is a minimal document that describes only the most basic obligation of the vows. Thus what we call our Customary is actually what other Orders call their Rule of Life. It covers everything from Silence, to the Habit, to Enclosure, Composure, Hospitality and the Vows. We invite you to download the attached PDF file of our Customary. It is a long document — around 55 pages (480k), but it is the most adequate description of the principles by which we live and the practices we use to fulfill them.
