The strength of religious life at the moment is in
its individual members
Its weakness is at the communal or corporate
level; there is a lack of cohesion, of shared
vision and action regarding a transformed
future.
We are wrestling and redefining “community” in
the light of changes since Vatican II
There is a deep desire and readiness for
movement.
Members of religious congregations around the
country overwhelmingly indicated that they are
looking for ways to initiate and sustain change
and movement towards a deeper renewal and
living of the life.
So here we are…
To provide you with insights and skills and
resources to envision, desire and commit to a
sustained process of personal and communal
transformation.
To support you in your role and as a member in
taking responsibility for the desires and the
visions you have for living this life deeply and
passionately.
