Carthusians

Religious order founded in 1086 by Saint Bruno @ Chartreaux, Dauphine, France. Members may not eat together or speak to each other except on certain days. They wear white habits. They were founded upon the motto While the world changes, the cross stands firm. They "seek God assiduously, to find God promptly, and to posses God fully."
