The Fourth Order is an ecumenical community whose companions practice radical awareness of the divine presence within ourselves, in others and in all creation.
The Fourth Order does not represent any particular religion or denomination. Companions of the Fourth Order maintain eccumenical practice as well as practice within their own faith traditions.
Although we come from diverse faith traditions or none at all, we proclaim the unity and transforming power of divine love experienced through prayer, contemplation, joy, suffering and compassion.
The Fourth Order is a deeply ecumenical community inspired by the lives and teachings of Francis and Clare of Assisi and other ancestors from the great indigenous, religio/mystic, and scientific paths whose teachings and spirituality express the wisdom of foundational unity and original blessing in creation.
These teachings have been passed on through the generations and continue to this day. Those who follow them carry the ancient teachings of love, simplicity, gratitude, compassion, creativity, responsibility, and transformation forward. Our diverse community expression is varied but always focuses on these.
In this night, Beloved,
there is only you.
In this moment,
there is only you.
As I breathe this breath,
there is only you.
I breathe this breath,
and there is only you.
In this silence,
there is only you.
