Brotherhood of Saint Gregory
The Brotherhood of Saint Gregory is a community of friars within the Anglican communion.[1][2] Its members, known as Gregorians, include clergy and laymen.
As a Christian Community of the Episcopal Church, it is open to both married and unmarried men. Its motto is Soli Deo gloria, "to God alone be the glory". The aim is always to follow Saint Gregory the Great as "servants of the servants of God" – whether in church or society. It is a member of the National Association of Episcopal Christian Communities.[3]
It was founded on 14 September 1969 (Holy Cross Day) in New York by Richard Thomas Biernacki. Its members work in diverse fields throughout the world, and come together twice a year for prayer and discussion.[4]
Since 1987 there has also been a parallel order of sisters, the Sisters of Saint Gregory.
John Nidecker, a former White House speech writer, was a member later in his life.[5] The Brotherhood was a centerpiece of the award-winning documentary Changing Habits by Sara Needham.[6][7][8][9] Ministries of the community have been the subject of local press reports in Chattanooga[10][11] and Yonkers.[12]
