The Alongsiders' programme has been running very successfully for some years now.

Alongsiders are people who come to the Community for varying lengths of time, usually 6 months to a year.

The aim is to provide an opportunity of sharing in the worship and life of the Community but with less commitment than Associates.

It could be a useful sabbatical, a time of spiritual renewal, study, to respond to a specific need, or to allow time and space to consider the way ahead.
