Regional Ga<strong>the</strong>ring: Puerto Rico<br />

Optimizing my stay in San Juan, P.R. thanks to <strong>the</strong> support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Fellowship</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Least</strong> <strong>Coin</strong>, we had two encounters with Puerto Rico PMJG sisters.<br />

The first was a lunch-meeting by <strong>the</strong> invitation <strong>of</strong> 5 prominent country leaders<br />

where we engaged in a pleasant dialogue on new directions for <strong>the</strong> new CLAI<br />

context <strong>and</strong> how this affects <strong>the</strong> participation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PMJG in <strong>the</strong> country, as<br />

well as to share concerns <strong>and</strong> challenges <strong>of</strong> PMJG to <strong>the</strong> country <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

continent.<br />

The second meeting was held on September 11 during a dinner meeting<br />

sponsored by CLAI <strong>and</strong> with <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> more than 20 churches <strong>and</strong><br />

agencies that make up <strong>the</strong> PMJG in Puerto Rico. It was eminently a moment<br />

to know us <strong>and</strong> share work, dreams <strong>and</strong> celebrations.<br />

Regional Ga<strong>the</strong>ring: “Steng<strong>the</strong>ning our networks”<br />

September 12 to 13, were <strong>the</strong><br />

dates for <strong>the</strong> regional meeting <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Caribbean <strong>and</strong> great Colombia<br />

PMJG in <strong>the</strong> city <strong>of</strong> Santo Domingo,<br />

Dominican Republic, convened<br />

under <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>me “Streng<strong>the</strong>ning<br />

our networks”, with <strong>the</strong><br />

participation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coordinators<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PMJG five countries that<br />

make up <strong>the</strong> region.<br />

The main focus was on <strong>the</strong> analysis<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> national socio-political <strong>and</strong><br />

religious diversity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> countries<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> region, as well as <strong>the</strong> reconstruction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> historical memory <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

PMJG.<br />
