We promote new ways of seeing and thinking, of being and feeling, of acting and organising ourselves. We cooperate with others to work out plans, processes, strategies to have an impact on the collective destiny of people. We bring people together to discuss the present situation with a view to putting it at the service of persons and peoples. We bring people together to train ourselves to life as encounter, relationship, comprehension, compassion. This is the action – the meaning, the task, the challenge – in all that we do. One of our greatest commitments at present is to accompany all-inclusive processes of renewal and evangelisation, but our service has many aspects. The simplest is an informal dialogue, a kind of “passing on the word”. Then there are short encounters, conversations on a topic, dialgoue among friends, without teachers or speaches. This is followed by opportunities for deepening: to exchange points of view and opinions, to broaden horizons and stimulate forms of commitment. Finally, there are courses and seminars – from one week up to three months – that provide more systematic training to interpret the world, to come to new syntheses of interior life and new strategies of action and diffusion.Our service is also offered through articles, interviews, books. There are visits to various organisations and associations with a similar and complementary mission and to seek sponsors and benefactors.
