Revision as of 19:01, August 17, 2005 by MariaCrabtree (talk | contribs)
Typically, the skete style of community in its earliest form had a small chapel surrounded by monastic kellia or cells where the monks lived and did their private rule of prayers or cell rule, and some handiwork. A spiritual father or abbot guided the spiritual endeavors of the monks of this community.
