emalouhow Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Thanks for heads up on this thread, Lil Red! It's been a while b/c I've been incredibly busy (getting married just seems to do that). I am in CL, and I have been for about 6 years! As people have already said, being a part of the movement is based on free adherence. There is no membership, but when you find something that is attractive and corresponds to your heart, how can you not stay with it? The aim of CL is that we educate each other on how to see Christ as the only reasonable response to every moment and circumstance of our lives. We meet together in School of Community, read from Giussani's books, and talk about how Christ comes to us (in the flesh) in our lives every day. The charism centers around the Incarnation, and that Christ not only became flesh, but that He dwells among us today in the flesh. That's all I have time for write now (my students are coming into my classroom), but I'll check in soon if you have any more questions. And I'll help anyone find a community near them!!! Peace and joy this Advent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 will you be in Boston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emalouhow Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Actually, that's a really good question.... My husband and I are planning on going (this is his first National event, and he's pretty excited), however we're running into a few road blocks. We've paid for our room and our plane tickets, but I'm having a hard time getting off of school for Friday and Monday (b/c we're now making up MLKJ day as a snow make-up day ) So probably, but we'll see.......

(I'm in 2 different places b/c I'm w/ 2 different groups......families & the college kids...my husband and I are their adult leaders). Also, has anyone read (or is reading) "The Risk of Education"?

BLAZEr Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi Em, I've read the Risk of Education and am reading it with some friends on conference call too. In Why the Church we are in Chapter 7 point 8. We will be done with capter 7 by Diakonia, which is where we are supposed to be according to Italy.
