Leadership Assembly - Ngày 2

Thưa cả nhà,
Day 2 is the first full day of the assembly.  Lot of surprises.  Lot of graces, but also much desolations.

During morning prayer, anh Trung using the song "I step into the flow....", was attempting to focus everyone on God again.  The morning prayer and the song help remind everyone that we must "surrender" in order to find true freedom.

Chi Mong Hang presented the current reality of CLC, with all its complexities, diversities, life giving energies as well as shortcomings.

Short individual reflection lead to small group sharing then the community came back together to share the fruit of small group sharing.  Some groups/members feel that they are being invited to step out of the comfort zone.  The great diversity with in CLC-USA was brought up.  There are different culture groups.  With in each culture groups, there are also regional differences as well.  The diversity also have issue because CLC-USA have so many duplication of functions and the wasted resources for those duplication.  The activity showed the community that many good things were accomplished as well as many negative things.  The community is invited to do more of what was done right and over time the negative things will be less significant.

The next session was the toughest and longest.  Activity 4 invites participants to examine 3 aspects of community relationships.  Visions of membership, community and clusters were shared and the communities brought out why will work and what will not work when the articulation of each vision is reviewed.

The day's activities ended with the solemn mass to celebrate the feast of St. Peter & St. Paul.  The mass was attended the World CLC president - Daniela Frank.  Daniela helped accepted 3 new members making their public permanent commitment.
