Talk: ‘Prayer’ – Fr Nicolas Stebbing

• Fr Nicolas Stebbing CR

Fr Nicolas Stebbing is a monk of the Community of the Resurrection, Mirfield, in Yorkshire. He was born and grew up in Zimbabwe and is still proud of his Zimbabwean identity. He studied in Zimbabwe, England and South Africa and was involved in the action and politics of the struggle against apartheid. He worked on missions in Zimbabwe for some years before joining the Community of the Resurrection. He has had a ministry of retreat work, chiefly within the Ignatian tradition and has taught seminarians at the College at Mirfield. His work now, apart from the central part of it, living the monastic life, revolves around teaching the novices the Greek New Testament, raising money for Zimbabwe and travelling to Zimbabwe to work with the Church there, and the Charity “Tariro for Young People” of which he is a founder.
