#574

This is the last of a long run of items from GC25 that piled up over 2 days when I was stuck for a half a day in an airport in the tiny little Kingdom of Tonga - well, the airport is tiny, but the people are reputed to be the biggest people in the world.  It was all in aid of a formation meeting; what we go through for our young men!!

If it's still not too late - A BLESSED EASTER TO ALL.

 

COMMISSION #4 - 2nd reading

Commission #, the 2nd draft of its document.  The document has a completely new structure and even the name has changed.  The new document is entitled, "The 
Salesian Community, the 
Privileged Place of animation and formation."  It is 6 pages long and has the following structure:
1.  Introduction
2.  The Call of God
3.
  Situations and Experiences: Positive and Negative
4.  The Community: Place of animation and Formation
a.  Challenges
b.  Working Orientations:  Strategies and Concrete Proposals
5.
  The Rule of animation of the Director
a.
  Challenges
b.  Working Orientations: Strategies and Concrete Proposals

Still to be voted on - that will be after Easter now.

 

COMMISSION #5 - 2nd reading

Commission #5.  The commission had to re-write the entire document.  One of the basic statements faced by the commission was the theme of the 
Salesian community as the "animating nucleus."  They chose to interpret Regulation 5 in this way: "The Salesian community is within the animating 
nucleus of the EPC."  It is not the animating nucleus, but forms a part of the nucleus.  The structure of the document is as follows:
1.  The Call of God
2.  The practical situation today
3.
  Challenges and Working Orientations
a.
  The mentality of working with a project
b.
  Qualitative and Quantitative consistency
c.
  Relationship between the Community and the Work
d.
  The Provincial Pastoral and Strategic Plan

This too is yet to be further discussed and voted on - after Easter.

COMMISSION #3

Commission #3 presented its report on "Our Animating Presence Among the Young."  No further comment at this stage.  After Easter!
