The Fourth Order madmonk1

Interfaith Franciscan practice site for individuals and groups.

The material on this site was originally developed for the fourth order of Francis and Clare – an unorganized and motley crew of multi-faith wayfarers inspired by the simple spiritual teachings of  Francis and Clare of Assisi.

The wayfarers that follow this path are from many different faith traditions or none at all. They dance with the Great Mystery in the plain old circumstances of their own lives.

This site offers internet chapters from Doing It Another Way: The Basic Text of the fourth order of Francis and Clare, as well as additional materials, and meditations for individuals and small local groups to experience or deepen interfaith Franciscan practice.

All are welcome to use this material for home study groups or individual practice.
