Balthasarspeyr.org is an online initiative of the Community of Saint John, a secular institute founded by Hans Urs von Balthasar and Adrienne von Speyr. The Community is comprised of consecrated laypeople (both men and women) and diocesan priests organized in three branches sharing a common rule and a common profession of the evangelical counsels. We also seek to diffuse the writings of our founders both through this site and our publishing house, the Johannes Verlag. Don’t hesitate to contact us with inquiries regarding the Community or our founders’ spirituality. We also welcome inquires from those desirous of information about, or assistance with, vocational discernment.
