The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) welcomed nearly 1000 people from across the United States and 14 other countries for a three-day virtual gathering, held August 11-13.
Using the theme, “The Realm of Transformation: Creating Space for the Future,” the participants looked at the pressing need to dismantle racism in society and within religious communities as well as the call to reimagine how religious life may be restructured to best continue its mission.
Reading the signs of the times from our desire to create communion, we, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, affirm the interrelatedness of the justice concerns addressed by the LCWR Call for 2015-2022. We are heartbroken by the myriad ways our one human family and Earth, our common home, suffer from disconnection, indifference, violence, and fear in the face of racism, migration, and climate crisis.
