Order of St Benedict (Anglican)

There are a number of Benedictine Anglican religious orders, some of them using the name Order of St. Benedict (OSB).

Just like their Roman Catholic counterparts, each abbey/priory/convent is independent of each other.

The vows are not made to an order, but to a local incarnation of the order, hence each individual order is free to develop its own character and charism, yet each under a common rule of life after the precepts of St. Benedict.

Most of the communities include a confraternity of oblates.

The order consists of a number of independent communities.
