Br. Rummery Presents at the First Lasallian Conversation of 2011

Brother Gerard Rummery, F.S.C., a leading Lasallian scholar and a distinguished speaker, presented to more than 90 faculty and staff at Manhattan in late February at the first Lasallian Conversation of 2011. He highlighted the five fundamental elements that identify the experience of Lasallian Association and promote unity in the ongoing, dynamic process of Association across the Institute's districts and regions. 

The elements include:

• Association exists for the Mission, the human and Christian education of young people.   
• Association implies being a member of a community for the Mission.
• Association results from experience and is a dynamic journey, not an acquired status.
• Association stems from faith, vocation and state of life.
• Association presupposes a freely made commitment.

“He addressed an audience that included men who have been Brothers for their entire adult lives (more than 50 years in some cases), as well as women and men colleagues more recently committed to the Lasallian project,” said Lois Harr, director of campus ministry. “Each one of us felt included and touched by his presentation.”
