"There is now a growing movement..."

I don't consider a handful of people trying a new fad to be a "growing movement".

Monasticism is not a "new fad," you know.

Well, I think you’ll change your mind in a few years. This is only going to pick up steam. For years now a number of Protestant ministers and laymen have been making retreats at Catholic monasteries such as Clear Creek near Tulsa, OK. Taize is also still quite popular among a number of Protestants. Anglicans in the last few years have reprinted their classic breviary. The signs are there...for those who are open to seeing them.
