........ Common Union is an organic continually forming community of faith looking to join together people through out Yuma, Arizona.... Monastic in it's commitment to daily seek the Creator. (Common Union is in its birthing stage in Yuma... we are eargerly looking forward to meeting and joining with other seekers, pilgrims and those who may simply question as we form community to be lived honestly daily in Arizona.) This website is slowly being redesigned to reflect the new home of Common Union. In the City Because you are Maker and this is your city, because your beauty is here for all to see, we give you thanks: For the gleam of lights reflected in the bay, for the brightness of rain on a dark street, for smells of coffee brewing, bacon frying, the baking of tomorrow's bread, for every sign of your making and sustaining to be found in the city, we give you thanks and ask you to....... come close.------- from a poem by Doug Gay .........Monastic spirituality flows from a belief in a God who's presence is evident to those who pause and listen, who persevere in seeking God even when it seems pointless. Monastic spirituality is not a running from (obligations, tragedies, brokenness), but running toward - seeking meaning to the mystery of life in the presence of the living God. Jesus
