"One in Christ" considers the role small-group monastic life plays within the life of the contemporary church. Using a focus on the life, practice and history of the Shepherd's Law community as a starting point, the book broadens the discussion to consider the how such communities negotiate the boundary between the solitary life and life within their community.
