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 />
