The Community of Saint Anselm is an Anglican religious order based at Lambeth Palace in London and is devoted to prayer, study and service to the poor.^[1] It is dedicated to Saint Anselm, and is under the patronage of the current Archbishop of Canterbury, the primus inter pares of the Anglican Communion.^[1] The Archbishop of Canterbury serves as the abbot of the Community of Saint Anselm,^[2] which abides by a Rule of Life.^[1] This quasi-monastic institute was founded in September 2015, when the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, invited Christians aged twenty to thirty-five to join the Community of Saint Anselm, intending "that Lambeth Palace be not so much a historic place of power and authority, but a place from which blessing and service reach to the ends of the earth".^[3] The Community of Saint Anselm is of an ecumenical nature; part of its purpose is to bring people from different countries and different denominations together^[4]. It consists of sixteen residential members each year from around the world ^[5] and around 20 non-residential members who live and work in the London area.
