Middle Of The Road Communities

I would not consider these communities "middle of the road." They are very traditional. 

 

I read your post. The Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word are very lax about technology. I'm pretty sure all of the members have phones. The Knights of the Holy Eucharist are the same way, and they have a reformed habit on top of that. I've actually spoken with them, so I might know more about them than you do.

 

^ The last line sounds snootier than intended.

Maybe they're leaning towards the middle of the road on the more traditional side? lol.

I wonder, then, if the Sisters of St. Rita qualify?  The Superior has a Facebook and so does the first year novice (which is different than other communities).  I don't know much about their formation program, though.  Their German Motherhouse is definitely "middle-of-the-road."

After going to my mission again this year I feel like all my usual comebacks seem snootier than I intend them to be. Hopefully that annoying feeling goes away and I go back to not caring.

MM, I've got mad research skills too-comes from being a geographer.  I'm Anglican/agnostic but I figure I might as well earn as many "points" as I can.  For what it's worth, this is a wonderful resource:  Deo est Gloria directory.

 

middle of the road-ish Dominicans (Dominican Sisters of Divine Providence)

Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament (former PMer is a member)

Pax Christi Sisters

Sisters of Mary, Queen (American province of Vietnamese congregation)

Daughters of Mary of the Immaculate Conception

Mantellate Sisters, Servants of Mary

Servants of God's Love

Oblates of Jesus the Priest

IHM Sisters of Wichita (maybe more conservative recently)

I use deoestgloria.com all the time, especially when I built my website for Older Vocations.  :)

You realize their mission is literally to work with technology, right? They run studio equipment and their website. On most of the shows by EWTN, they're the ones running the cameras. They use more technology than most communities do. It's not a bad thing, it's in fact a good thing.

Media apostolate doesn't really make a community "middle of the road."

Franciscans of the Immaculate are in media too. Internets and all that jazz. They are about as far from "middle of the road" as you can get. MFVAs are traditional and that's how Mother A would want them to be.

Yes, I know that. My comment was tongue in cheek :alien: You're taking posts serious now, wow :elvis:
