The Anglican Order of Preachers invite inquiries from those interested in membership in the Order, and from those interested in becoming Oblates or Associates of the Order.  Please direct all inquiries to askadominican@hotmail.com.
 
Who are the Oblates?
 
Oblates are baptized Christians who share in the prayer and community life of the Order without joining the Chapter or making vows.  After a postulancy of six months, and with the consent of the Formation Committee, a man or woman may sign the Order's letter of promise to become an Oblate.  He or she is assigned to a House and participates in the regular online community of that House.  Oblates participate fully in any meetings or gatherings of the Order which they may voluntarily choose to attend.  They do not hold office in the Order or vote on matters before the Chapter.
 
Who are the Associates?
 
Associates are baptized Christians who wish to support the Order with their prayer, friendship, and if means permit financial contributions, while remaining independent from the group.  Each associate is asked to develop an individual rule of life which will help him or her to grow in the areas of prayer, study, community and ministry.  An associate may request to have a spiritual correspondence by e-mail with a member of the Order.  Associates are always welcome guests at the public functions of the Order, such as novicing and profession services.
