The Community of Saint Anselm is an Anglican religious order that resides in the Lambeth Palace and is devoted to "prayer and service to the poor".[1] It is dedicated to Saint Anselm, and is under patronage of the current Archbishop of Canterbury, the primus inter pares of the Anglican Communion.[1] The Archbishop of Canterbury serves as the abbot of the Community of Saint Anselm,[2] which abides by a Rule of Life.[1] This monastic institute was founded in September 2015, when the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, invited Christians aged twenty to thirty-five to join the Community of Saint Anselm, and opining "that Lambeth Palace be not so much a historic place of power and authority, but a place from which blessing and service reach to the ends of the earth".[3] The Community of Saint Anselm is of an ecumenical nature and has sixteen novitiates.[4]
