The Institute for Church Life Consults
The Institute for Church Life has convened four national pastoral consultations in recent years to assist the church in addressing issues of the greatest importance to Catholic pastoral life. We conceived of these consultations as our contact with new energy sources in order to clarify the Institute's ministry of service to bishops, pastors, and other pastoral leaders. In each case, we did our best to assure that the consultation participants would represent the best information and most expert pastoral skills relevant to our topics. Below you will find an edited version of our reports on the National Consultation on Hispanic/Latino Pastoral Concerns, on Asian Pacific American Pastoral Concerns, on Spirituality in the Culture and in the Academy, and Christian Vocation and Discipleship.
Some consults are in .pdf format. These files will open in the Adobe Acrobat Reader and can be printed by clicking on the print icon on the Adobe toolbar. If you do not have the Adobe Acrobat Reader (which is necessary to view .pdf files) installed on your computer, please click here to download the free Reader.
