Our Compelling Direction 2006-2010 The Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk assemble every three years for Chapter. The purpose of the Chapter meeting is to reflect on their own lives and discern the needs of the people of God with whom they minister. From this a direction and vision emerges as to how we can “effect change in ourselves, our church and our society.” We desire to live out our prophetic call and use our collective voice in the spirit of Angela and the Gospel of Jesus while integrating our action with our own individual and communal lives (including investment policy, education/literacy of the members, and movement toward openness to other cultures and traditions). The resources we will draw on as we continue in this direction include our many years of focused effort, the experience of individual sisters, our NGO status, the UN Millennium Development Goals and other resources and networking as needed. The particular focus this direction will take in 2006-2010 is on the problem of violence. We will emphasize specific faces of violence to address in annual Provincial and individual goals with a commitment to on-going learning on an individual and communal level and to a deepened understanding and practice of non-violence. Specific faces of violence we will emphasize in our learning and action may include: • Violence to the earth (water, global warming) • The war in Iraq • Trafficking of women and children • Homelessness • Illiteracy • Racism 3 Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk “We dare to effect change in ourselves, our church and our society”
