The 2021 fall programming is dedicated to charism and the prophetic character in consecrated life through three online activities from September to November.
These activities are intended to respond to the desire of the CRC network to continue to meet and reflect together, according to the priorities identified by the 2021 General Assembly.
The fall process is a common reflection on the evolution of consecrated life and the themes of charism and the prophetic character. The CRC Theological Commission will accompany this collective process, in the same spirit of discernment experienced through webinars and plenaries in 2020-2021. The CRC continue to take advantage of the potential of technology to enrich the life and reflection of the Major Superiors network in Canada.
According to the wishes expressed by the General Assembly to extend the conversation to other consecrated persons, this programming is addressed to religious men and women of congregations and institutes of consecrated life, as well as to lay associates and collaborators to the mission.
