                                       Who we are.....

Franciscans of the third millennium, Companion's of Jesus are men and women who are called to walk in unity on the road of reconciliation. Prayerfully working within the whole household of God we seek reconciliation within the divisions made by man to the Body of Christ.

Individually and corporately by the Power of the Holy Spirit a Companion of Jesus seeks to be an instrument of God's love, working and living within the local community. They share in worship, the study of scripture, prayer, and fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ, right across the denominational divide.

 

Companion's of Jesus are inter-denominational, and are not an arm or outreach of any one particular denomination, fellowship, community or church communion.

The community is ecumenical.

 

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all through all and in all. (Eph 4.4-6. NIV)

(The Servant Companions of Jesus, was established in 2004 in Bexhill-on-Sea in East Sussex, England. In 2009 they became known simply as 'Companions of Jesus').

"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." (Jn 15.15)

A Companion is a friend with whom one breaks bread.

Companions of Jesus seek through love, ecumenical dialogue and fellowship to keep the unity of the Spirit, which is found in Jesus Christ alone, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Companions of Jesus seek in the simplicity of the Gospel to be instruments and channels of God's love and peace.

 "My dear people, our love is not to be just words or mere talk, but something real and active..." (1John.18)

 Lord make me an instrument of your peace. (from Prayer of St Francis)
