Double Monasteries in Christianity with its Effects and Problems and its Reflections to Present

Summary/Abstract: Double monasteries are religious sites where monks and nuns live according to common rules and are usually ruled by an abbess. In these monasteries, monks and nuns gathered for Eucharist and daily worship but lived in their convents for the rest of the day. Double monasteries emerged especially in Egypt in the early Christianity and became widespread in England, Ireland and France between the 6th and 9th centuries. Although these monasteries were banned by various councils, due to the coexistence of men and women, they remained alive until the late period of the Middle Ages. Although they have disappeared after the council decisions and invasions, there is a double monastery in England adhered to the Orthodox Church. On the other hand, there are efforts to create a new gender paradigm by giving examples from the common life of double monasteries in Christianity. Therefore, double monasteries are an important issue in terms of including subjects such as Church, women and authority. The article discusses the effects, problems, structures and history of these monasteries. The article aims to provide resources for studies such as the Church, women, monastic life, and Christian mysticism.
