The New City Regula
“Regula” is a Latin word associated with the concept of a “trellis,” for holding up branches of a vine and promoting growth. It is a word used in ancient times by Christians to describe a structured framework (like a trellis) on which life with Jesus can grow organically. A “regula” is an aid to help us graciously receive what Jesus has for us.
The New City “Regula” is a set of common practices we encourage New City family members to adopt for the purpose of spiritual formation and slowing down to enjoy loving union with Jesus. There is no merit in the engaging these practices. Rather, it is a way for presenting ourselves before God so that he may change us AND doing so with others who are making the same type of journey.
The New City Regula calls for attentiveness to the rhythm of our hours, days, and weeks. It is not meant to be overwhelming, rigorous, or conforming, though it does call for grace-driven effort. It is designed to be flexible to your own life but formational to the life of Jesus.
