dc.description.abstractMonasticism has always been one of the essential elements of Christianity. The urban explosion has become one of the major realities of contemporary society. How is it that a monastic presence remains so scattered and tenuous in the heart of our great cities - where evangelization is so clearly a priority for Christians? These are the sorts of questions that arise for those called to become "monks in the city." What are the reasons for this absence? What arguments could justify such a presence? And how could one live this presence in such an absence, when the monastic ideal is defined as much by a need for distance as by a desire for communion?en_GB
