Church and mission 11/18-New Monasticism

The New Monastic Movement seems like one of the few bright spots in contemporary North American Christianity where people actually learn what it means to follow Jesus. Cultivating the Christlike practices of hospitality, peacemaking, and economic sharing could go along way in delivering a prophetic word to the world but also to the church. My one hesitation is that by having a certain segment of Christianity living life this way are they being set apart as the special ones or are they saying that this is the sum total and completeness of following Jesus and the rest of the wannabe Christians should follow suit? Hmmmm
