Rule of Life
 Gloucester Cathedral Community has developed a Rule of Life which we invite you to explore. We believe that committing to our Rule both unites us and helps our spiritual growth.
At the heart of Gloucester Cathedral Community's Rule of Life is our Cathedral's vision that as a community and as individuals we seek to live in tune with heaven and in touch with daily life.
Our Rule pays special attention to five Benedictine 'rules' or rhythms of life - prayer, study, work, re-creation and hospitality - which hold our lives in balance.
Each person will decide exactly how much and what they will commit to in response to the Rule, so what each of us actually does will be different, but we will have in common the framework of our Rule. This will help us to keep our lives in balance as we seek to ‘grasp the heel of heaven’ whilst keeping firmly in touch with the world around us.
