Welcome to The Minute Monk!

Br. Will, CMJ, is a vowed Episcopal religious based in Chicago. His community (The Community of the Mother of Jesus) is rooted in the monastic tradition of the Episcopal Church and they take vows of justice, tenderness, humility, and contemplation. While he often reflects from the Christian tradition, all faiths and traditions are welcome here and he hopes you find resonance in the perennial wisdom shared across all traditions.

As an interfaith spiritual director, preacher, teacher, and group facilitator, Br. Will has had the privilege to work with a variety of people, each with unique identities, and he holds each journey as sacred. He believes in the power of love and holds a deep regard for the dignity of all people.

He intends this blog to center around how we encounter the divine as we seek to know ourselves more fully. He hopes to share thoughts, experiences, and resources to expand our collective consciousness and encourage one another toward a deeper understanding of the spiritual journey and how all spiritual paths ultimately point toward community. Peace be with you!
