Community of the Companions of Jesus the Good Shepherd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Community of the Companions of Jesus the Good Shepherd (CJGS) is an Anglican religious order founded in 1920 and based in Killington, Oxford. Originally, the sisters were teachers lining alone or in small groups, but in 1943 a mother house was established under a monastic rule. Christian education continues to be the primary focus of the community's work, mainly through ministry training and spiritual direction. The community is under the jurisdiction of the Church of England.
