Monks who profess and follow the teaching and example of Saint Augustine, a prominent person in Christianity. He believed Christ's grace was needed for man's salvation and also set forth the doctrines of original sin and just war.
Augustinian monks are members of the Order of Saint Augustine, a Catholic religious order founded by Saint Augustine of Hippo in the 13th century. They follow the Rule of Saint Augustine and are known for their commitment to community life, prayer, and service to others. The order includes various branches such as friars, nuns, and priests.
Some types of monks include Benedictine monks, Franciscan monks, and Trappist monks. Each type of monk belongs to a different religious order with its own set of customs, practices, and rules.
Saint Augustine arrived in Kent, England, in 597 AD as part of a mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity under the direction of Pope Gregory I. He was sent by the pope to evangelize the pagan population and establish the Christian Church in England.
Benedictine monks were called black monks because of the color of their traditional black robes or habits. The term "black monks" was used to distinguish them from the Cistercian monks, who wore white robes and were known as the "white monks."
There is no known special name for a group of monks. A monk is a singular term and when multiple monks are present an "s" is added to make the word monk plural which is monks.
In 1066, monks were commonly referred to as "brothers" or "friars." They dedicated their lives to prayer, meditation, and service to their communities within monasteries or friaries. Their role was central to religious life and education during this period.
