Interculturality in Religious Life: Report from Colloquia Series

“Interculturality and Intercongregationality in Religious Life: Findings and Recommendations from a Colloquia Series on Best Practices” is a roadmap and a resource for congregations looking to thrive in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world. As we celebrate the World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life on Feb. 2, we invite all women and men religious to read and reflect on these actionable insights and best practices for strengthening unity, equity, and mutual enrichment in religious life.

This report is the result of a collaborative project undertaken by the Asociación de Hermanas Latinas Misioneras en America (AHLMA), Leadership Collaborative (LC) and the Religious Formation Conference (RFC). Supported by a grant from the GHR Foundation, the two-year colloquia series gathered newer members, elected leaders, and formation directors to explore the essential practices of intercultural living and intercongregational collaboration.  

The findings emphasize the transformative potential of shared storytelling, leadership development, and a commitment to fostering authentic relationships across cultures and congregations. These learnings equip congregations with the tools needed to build inclusive communities, deepen ministry impact, and witness the Gospel in new and dynamic ways.

"Interculturalidad e intercongregacionalidad en la vida religiosa: Conclusiones y recomendaciones de una serie de coloquios sobre las mejores prácticas" es una guía y un recurso para las congregaciones que buscan crecer en un mundo cada vez más diverso e interconectado. Con motivo de la celebración de la Jornada Mundial de Oración por la Vida Consagrada el 2 de febrero, invitamos a todas las religiosas y religiosos a leer y reflexionar sobre estas ideas prácticas y las mejores prácticas para fortalecer la unidad, la equidad y el enriquecimiento mutuo en la vida religiosa.

Este informe es el resultado de un proyecto de colaboración llevado a cabo por la Asociación de Hermanas Latinas Misioneras en América (AHLMA), Leadership Collaborative (LC) y la Religious Formation Conference (RFC). Con el apoyo de una subvención de la GHR Foundation, la serie de coloquios de dos años reunió a miembros más nuevos, líderes electos y directores de formación para explorar las prácticas esenciales de la vida intercultural y la colaboración intercongregacional.

Los resultados ponen de relieve el potencial transformador de la narración de historias compartidas, el desarrollo del liderazgo y el compromiso de fomentar relaciones auténticas entre culturas y congregaciones. Estos aprendizajes dotan a las congregaciones de las herramientas necesarias para construir comunidades inclusivas, profundizar en el impacto del ministerio y dar testimonio del Evangelio de formas nuevas y dinámicas.
