The Comon Life of the Order of St. Patrick

The Order of St. Patrick (OSP) was originally founded in 1979 in Northeastern Kansas as the Order of St. John by The Right Rev. Dr. Randy L. Scraper. In 2015, the name and focus were changed in Oklahoma by Abbott Scraper, and his son, The Right Rev. Dr. Matthew B. Scraper, both ordained Elders in the United Methodist Church. The Scrapers founded the Order as an ecumenical fellowship for Christian clergy and lay contemplatives, who wish to dedicate themselves to a secularly cloistered monastic life. Members of the Order commit themselves to a life of contemplation, and service, and to the teaching of Christian spiritual formation as directed by the Rule for Life of the Order. The Book of Common Discipline of The Order of St. Patrick serves as the guide for all processes and liturgies within the Order of St. Patrick.
