Anglican:

… to practise the full teaching of the Church as enshrined in the Book of Common Prayer

What does the Book of Common Prayer require of me?

• To observe the Festivals and Holy Days appointed.
• To keep the Fasting Days with devotion and abstinence.
• To observe the ecclesiastical customs and ceremonies established, and that without frowardness or contradiction.
• To repair unto the oratory for Mattins and Evensong, with other holy offices at times appointed, unless there be a just and unfeigned cause to the contrary.
• To receive the Blessed Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ with frequent devotion, and three times a year at least, of which Easter to be always one.
• And for better preparation thereunto, as occasion is, to disburthen and quit your consciences of those sins that may grieve us, or scruples that may trouble us, to a learned and discreet spiritual father, and from him to receive advice, and the benefit of Absolution.

Skete:

A small, semi-hermitnetic monastic settlement. It consists of individual cells, small cottages, or caves where monks live in solitude, clustered around a central church or chapel. Monks spend weekdays in private prayer and manual labor in their individual cells, and gather together on weekends and feast days for communal liturgies,
