In this video, I interview a Coptic Orthodox Monk, Father Anthony. Father Anthony is a monk at St Shenouda Monastery based near Sydney, Australia. We talk about Christian monasticism, St Anthony the Great's demonic attacks, and how monasticism rapidly spread throughout the Eastern Christian world. We also discuss how average Christians can incorporate monastic principles into their daily lives through retreats, discipleship, and regular spiritual maintenance.
