A SHORT SUMMARY OF THE GROUP DISCUSSION

In the conference hall 

In the spirit of promoting unity in a divided world, the groups discussion centered mainly on the question of promoting and building unity in the communities, among religious, among lay members and with our brothers in the assumption family. Group discussions also centered on analyzing challenges to unity and the causes of these challenges within ourselves, in our communities in our apostolic areas and in the Vice province.

About unity with our sisters’ congregations in the Assumption family, the spirit of doing things together as a family is to be encouraged. The document our Assumption spirit in the church today should be put to practice for it gives some practical elements for formation and apostolate.

In our apostolic works, there should be the cultivation of the charism of the congregation to encourage both religious and lay vocations. It is in being united with those that we work with and work for that we will become better witnesses and agents of unity in our divided world. Our love, openness and communion should aim at bringing unity and breaking down walls of division.
