BENEDICTINE COMMUNITY OF CHRIST THE KING     CCK

 

  The Community of Christ the King is a Traditional Anglican Benedictine order, enclosed and contemplative.  Its members endeavour to glorify God in a life of prayer under the threefold vow of Stability, Conversion of Life and Obedience.  They follow a rhythm of life centred on the worship of God in the Daily Eucharist and sevenfold Office.

 The convent nestles at the foot of the Warby Ranges in Victoria, Australia.  It is surrounded by attractive flower gardens, a citrus orchard and a kitchen garden.  The fruit and vegetables ensure a certain amount of self-sufficiency, and afford the opportunity and privilege of manual labour, essential to the contemplative life.

  Hospitality aimed at helping visitors deepen their spiritual lives through prayer is a feature of the life.  The property, with its extensive views, bush walks and seclusion, is ideally suited to relaxation, quiet reflection and retreat.  It is ringed by fourteen large crosses providing opportunity for meditation on the way of the cross, and for prayer in solitude.  We hold silent retreats and hope to develop this outreach.
