The Community of Saint Anselm is an Anglican religious order that resides in Lambeth Palace and is devoted to "prayer and service to the poor". It is dedicated to Saint Anselm, and is under the patronage of the current Archbishop of Canterbury, the primus inter pares of the Anglican Communion. The Archbishop of Canterbury serves as the abbot of the Community of Saint Anselm, which abides by a Rule of Life. This monastic institute was founded in September 2015, when the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, invited Christians aged twenty to thirty-five to join the Community of Saint Anselm, and opining "that Lambeth Palace be not so much a historic place of power and authority, but a place from which blessing and service reach to the ends of the earth". The Community of Saint Anselm is of an ecumenical nature and has sixteen members.
