Lambeth's Benedict Option

The Rev. Anders Litzell serves as prior of the Community of St. Anselm at Lambeth Palace, one of the new initiatives begun by the Archbishop of Canterbury. An Anglican priest from Sweden, Litzell has a background in charismatic and Lutheran churches and attended St. Barnabas Church, Glen Ellyn, while studying at Wheaton College in Illinois. The Community of St. Anselm, which launches this September, will consist of an ecumenical group of 16 residents and 20 other members living and working in London. Members have committed to one year of community life, daily prayer, and service to others.
