1978: The MARRIED MONK with a MODERN MIXED-SEX MONASTERY | Nationwide | BBC Archive
Kevin Jacobsen is a monk with a difference. He lives in a monastery he founded himself in Spiddal, County Galway, with nine acolytes - male and female. He himself is married with five children, who live in the family home thirty feet away.
Daily life in his order centres on devotion, prayer, fishing and Hawaii Five-0 (or Kojak, depending on what day it is).
A man of both vision and practicality, he explains here how he balances what may seem the conflicting aspects of his life.
Clip taken from Nationwide: Another Ireland, originally broadcast on BBC One, Friday 25 August, 1978.
