- THE ABBEY OF THE WAY -
Like the Celtic houses of prayer and hospitality, The Abbey of the Way, located in Worcester, MA, is a peaceful refuge for followers of Jesus, and particularly leaders, to rest, reflect, and go deeper in their life with God in order to go further in their service to Him and to others.
Through personal or group retreats, led or hosted by staff and volunteers, prayer gatherings, spiritual direction or mentoring, Christian Spiritual Formation events, and online presentations and conversations, The Abbey House and Community help leaders to discern, learn, and walk in The Way of Jesus even as they help others to do likewise.
The Abbey of the Way is directed by Father Len and Hallie Cowan, is overseen by a Board of Directors, is staffed by a Community that shares its vision for ministry and lives its Way of Life, and is supported by all who believe in its ministry. It is in partnership with the Anglican Diocese in New England.
The Abbey is grounded in a life of prayer and service and promotes a Way of Life based on Christian virtues, activated by the Holy Spirit in response to spiritual disciplines. The Cowans are experienced Spiritual Directors, and are actively involved in promoting prayer in various Kingdom-focused networks of believers in Worcester and New England.
