Community of Jesus: Orleans, Massachusetts
The Community of Jesus is an ecumenical community of Christians based in Rock Harbor, Orleans, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. It consists of over 200 members, all of whom live within a one-mile radius.
Begun in the early 1960s by two Episcopal women who were influenced by the charismatic movement of the time, the community is governed by a "Rule of Life," patterned in the Benedictine spirit. "Householders" take monastic vows of stability, conversion, and obedience, and "Brothers" and "Sisters" take additional vows of poverty, chastity and absolute obedience.
