'+Geographical/Regional usage+':

'+Description+': The term is relatively recent as such, though the concept no, in Salesian terminology. It has many likely synonyms, including the idea of 'project' (especially in Italian) or ''ideario'' (Italian). It also includes 'system' as employed, for example, in the 'Salesian Social Communication System' or SSCS, which is effectively a frame of reference for a key Salesian Sector, though this precise term (frame of reference) does not once appear in that document. The Missions department, began its work in drawing up such a document by calling it precisely this, a 'frame of reference'. We find the term beginning to enter Salesian official discourse in the letters of Fr Chávez, e.g. after his first year in office he writes: "Don Bosco must be known!  We cannot live only on well known stories and anecdotes, without ever discovering where the criteria and laws of Salesian life are to be found.  Don Bosco must be studied!  Without any doubt a vital transmission is taking place of the charism, of the spirit, of the spirituality and mission.  It is a kind of existential hermeneutics of what it means to be a Salesian at the present day.  But this experience must be codified and needs a frame of reference.  And in view of this work which is so fundamental, here in Italy there has been a consistent investment of personnel in the field of history, as regards both biography and critical historiography, in the field of pedagogy and the educational sciences, and in that of spirituality. These are three elements essential for a deep knowledge of the charism and for its faithful transmission.  And so the passing to all the Provinces of the world of the responsibility for the transmission of the charism cannot remain just an empty slogan;  it implies certain consequences.  And these consequences need to be explicitly spelled out, precisely because it must be verified that the Provinces are truly capable of bearing the necessary witness". This description helps us understand 'frame of reference' in Salesian terms.

'+Context (examples of use)+': The Congregation is not expecting every Province to have its own University, but wants to accept responsibility for these institutions where they exist, clearly establishing their identity and defining the criteria that make them possible. These will provide a frame of reference if there should be the request for the erection of any new University. (Chávez AGC 381)

(:zapend:) (:zapform key=Type:) '''Term type''' ('EntryTerm' ''if no other applies)'' (1) (2) [Initialisms like AGC are regarded as acronyms; a term like 'Bro.' is an abbreviation; an example of short form instead would be the main part of a very long book title (most of DB's book titles! 'Giovane Provveduto' is a short form). A loan term is not translated whereas a calque is. A blend is where two (or more) morphemes or 'word' parts have been combined to form a single term, as in the case of 'austraLasia'. Choose variant when there exists at least one other common form of the term. ] (:zapend:)
