I want to ask a question about Anglican religious orders in England and what kinds of orders there are - eg contemplative, active, conservative, liberal etc. Comparative to churchmanship when talking about clergy. Is this a question for Ecclesiastics or All Saints? Seems more Eccles but monastic communities are not quite churches.

What do you want to discuss? If you are contemplating joining an order, then All Saints would be appropriate.if you want to discuss the relative churchmanship if different orders, I'd suggest Eccles. If it goes off in another direction I'm sure one of the hosts will move it.

Relative churchmanship, so will put it in Eccles. Thank you!

Having seen your thread, it looks fine for Eccles to me.

Information about Anglican orders in the UK (and some from overseas) can be found at communities.anglicancommunion.org or by contacting the communities via their websites, post or by speaking to your diocesan director of vocations. Orders focus on various ministries such as mission and outreach or can be enclosed or contemplative. The worship can depend on the orders' rule or tradition so there are some that are more experimental in their liturgy and others more traditional. Some orders are likely to die out soon and others experiencing many new vocations so if you have a hunt you are sure to find somewhere that 'ticks all the boxes' of what you are looking for in a religious order. Hope that helps.
