LCWR Assembly 2016 “Embracing the Mystery: Living Transformation”
Tuesday, August 9, 2016 to Saturday, August 13, 2016 – Atlanta, Georgia
As religious life undergoes deep and significant change, nearly 800 persons gathered in Atlanta, Georgoa for an LCWR assembly uniquely structured to assist members to reframe their perspectives about religious life in this moment away from diminishment and toward transformation.
Designed to help members view the changes occurring in religious life – with all of their pain and challenge – as significant opportunities for growth, the assembly offered ideas and insights on how to embrace the invitation to transformation. The assembly aimed to provide leaders with knowledge and skills that will be useful for themselves and the members of their institutes. The entire assembly was being conducted as an experience of contemplative engagement. Designed to help members learn, reflect on, and discuss this transformational opportunity for religious life in a contemplative manner, participants also left with contemplative engagement skills that they can apply to their own leadership ministry.
