March 20 to April 1
Week 1: Immersion to Communities
Traditionally, we think of community as a group of people gathered or living together for a certain mission. Community is a significantly diverse concept. It is not restricted to geographical proximity. It can mean the neighborhood, the city, or online social networks; or it can be more specific to gender, age, ethnicity, and/or religious organization. Immersion in communities provides an opportunity to approcah and understand the community as a system in context of the whole. Leaders and formators must be aware of the different types of communities that exists in society; such as; geographical, identification and interest, and collective relationships as it sets the parameters in assessing the target population boundaries, issues, values and strengths, culture and context so that they may better understand their communities, serve and lead them to what the Holy Spirit calls them to be.
April 4-9
Week 2: Reflection - Integration
A discerning formator and leader is engaged in a lifelong journey who perceives every experience as an opportunity for growth, change, and development of spirituality. The Holy Spirit is active in the world and in people's lives. Given the fast changing context and the ambiguity of the post-modern era we need God's guidance as individuals and communities.
The process of discernment is a theological one for it is of God and involves seeking to detect where God's Spirit is at work. The process requires a relationship - relationship with God and with others in the community of faith.
