From the invitation letter to each District:
One of the major global concerns fort he Lasallian Family is developing a deeper understanding of, and engagement with, Lasallian spirituality. If the means for doing so are not developed, then a deeper understanding of Lasallian spirituality has little chance of being achieved. Some sectors of the Institute are more successful than others in this area. It is our intention that over a period of two years, an internat ional “think-tank” of diverse Lasal lians from a wide variety of backgrounds will develop and propose the topics, criteria, conversational catalysts, challenging questions, and specific projects that will benefit the Lasallian Family in general, those in formation or vocational discernment, and all Lasallians who are concerned about spiritual matters.
But we don’t have to start from scratch. Many around the world are already engaged in a wide variety of programs focused on a deeper understanding of Lasallian spirituality and have created many resources for the same purpose. Part of our project is to build that experience and that wo rk, so that it may become known internationally, and so that it may be a foundational resource for the work of this think-tank. We need your help for this project to be successful. In this first stage, we have developed an on line survey that invites each District or Delegation to share w ith us the programs and resources that have been helpful in creating a deeper understanding of Lasallian spirituality within your Lasallian Family. There are also questions regarding possible future programs and resources that might be developed from the center of the Institute or elsewhere. Our expectation is that by compiling the responses from around the world, we will be able to provide the think-tank with a solid basis from which they may begin their work.
