Community of the King  of  Love

The Community of the King of Love

was formed in 1969 in Birmingham,

West Midlands

to work for reconciliation between people of

diverse culture and Christian traditions.

From Birmingham the founders moved to Bradford, West Yorkshire

where the first house was established and during those formative years

evolved a Rule of Life to which the members of the Community give obedience.

From Bradford the Community moved to New Mills in Derbyshire

and from there, in 1979, to Whaley Bridge

where the Foundation House was established.

Entrance into the Community follows the traditional monastic forms of aspirant,

novice and full member. It is open to men and women

and when a person becomes a full member three vows are taken for life.

These are:

Detachment Chastity Obedience.
