Monasticism? Emergent?

First of all... here are the "12 Marks of New Monasticism" from www.newmonasticism.org
(and from a post on www.jesuscreed.org where I first found this)

1. Relocation to the abandoned places of Empire.
2. Sharing economic resources with fellow community members and the needy.
3. Hospitality to the stranger.
4. Lament for racial divisions and pursuit of a just reconciliation.
5. Humble submission to Christ’s Body, the church.
6. Intentional formation in the way of Christ and the rule of the community.
7. Nurturing common life among members.
8. Support for celibate singles alongside monogamous marrieds and children.
9. Geographical proximity to community members.
10. Care for the plot of God’s earth given to us.
11. Peacemaking in the midst of violence and conflict resolution.
12. Commitment to a disciplined contemplative life.


My thoughts: I've been hearing a lot about the monasticism and emergent movements this year (and before that, but not by name). I couldn't tell you how they differ or how they are similar - I probably couldn't even tell you quite what they are. But all the same, the names have been coming up a lot.
Looking at these 12 points I realize that I agree with all of them. I get excited reading them because they describe how I want to live. The only thing I wasn't sure about, however, was that there was not a significant mention of spiritual growth academically. Studying the word, reading the word. It emphasized the doings of life... but it seemed like there was something else missing. a transformation of mind and heart. Maybe one of these points really does emphasize this and I'm interpreting it wrong... but oh well.

I want to find out more about these movements, but I also know that I want to stay in the church I'm in now for a least a little bit longer. Maybe these movements aren't just changing sunday mornings though. I want to get to a place where church and life aren't separate. Where one things flows into the other from family to friends to work to church etc.
But maybe that goal is too far off.
I just don't know.
