Sisters of the Incarnation SI Founded 1981 The House of the Incarnation 6 Sherbourne Terrace Dover Gardens SA 5048 Australia Tel: 08 8296 2166 Email: sisincar@chariot.net.au

The sisters live under vows of poverty, chastity and obedience in a simple life style, and seek to maintain a balance between prayer, community life and work for each member and to worship and serve within the church. They combine the monastic and apostolic aspects of the Religious Life. The monastic aspects include prayer, domestic work at home, community life and hospitality. The sisters are engaged in parish ministry and exercise a Ministry in Spirituality from the House of the Incarnation at Dover Gardens.
The community was founded in the diocese of Adelaide in 1981 as a contemporary expression of the Religious Life for women in the Anglican Church. In 1988, the two original sisters made their Profession of Life Intention within the Sisters of the Incarnation, before the Archbishop of Adelaide, the Visitor of the community. One member was ordained to the diaconate in 1990 and the priesthood in 1993. The governing body of the community is its chapter of professed sisters, which elects the Guardian, and appoints an Episcopal Visitor and a Community Advisor.
The community is not endowed; the sisters work to earn sufficient for their needs.
