SUMMARY:Reseeding Religious Life through the Global Sisterhood
DESCRIPTION:As the Center celebrates its 10th year we invite you to a book launch. \n\nThe Center for the Study of Consecrated Life which celebrates its 10th year was founded to support research and publications regarding contemporary issues in religious life today. CSCL sponsors programs and events that bring together men and women religious from around the world to dialogue about the realities and changes of religious vocation.\n\n10 Years\n\n\n\nThe story of religious life over the centuries displays two enduring qualities: constancy and change. God’s love is constant\, as is the changing state of the human condition lived on earth\, our common home. Each generation of religious is faced with reading the signs of the times to faithfully navigate the intersection of constancy and change. In this event\, a few of the sister authors share perspectives on their rich heritage while continuing to till the soil of religious life with their encounters\, transforming and deepening their charismatic identity with each conversation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPEAKERS

SUMMARY:Reckoning with Dangerous Memories in the History of U.S. Catholic Women’s Religious Life
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will overview the mostly unreconciled histories of slavery and segregation in U.S. women’s religious life as well as some notable attempts to make reparation for the enduring sin of anti-Black racism and exclusion within Catholic boundaries.
