  Dear All

  Following Andrew Dotchin's suggestion here is a synopsis of the work. It has 14 session units as follows, each of which has the same structure as outlined in my previous note: viz:

  >From the Sources
  Introduction
  Survey
  Information
  REflections
  Further Readings

  The 14 units are devoted to:

  Francis, Clare and the Franciscan Family

  Witnesses of the Incarnation

  Travelling the Gospel Way:  Moving toward the Kingdom in the Church

  The Franciscan Mission

  To be Formed into Jesus Christ

  The Franciscan Evangelist: A Prayerful Missionary

  Franciscan Presence and Dialogue: Living with Diversity in a Pluralistic Society

  Peace-Making in a Culture of Violence

  Inculturation in a Franciscan Perspective

  The Economy and Global Reality from a Franciscan Perspective

  Relating as Franciscan Women and Men of Faith

  Brother Sun and sister Moon: A Franciscan View of the Environment

  The Continuing Franciscan Task in the Church

  Altogether a wide ranging and valuable resource. The material provided for Reflections is wide-ranging. for instance in the session "Moving toward the Kingdom in the Church" it is a short story by John Updike, with some good and pertinent questions to guide our reflections on the story in the context of the unit.

  In the right hands this could be used to arrange a whole programme of sessions for a Local Group ( or even an Area). It could also be used for personal reflection on the Franciscan Way. Its pedigree is an assurance of its intellectual credibility.
