“We claim our power to nurture mutual relationships.”
“Reconocemos nuestro poder para nutrir relaciones mútuas.”
The religious life and community of Dominican Sisters of Springfield, IL is based on mutual relationships. The chapter statement calls the Sisters to explore a deeper sense of mural relationships. At the General Assembly Sisters reviewed a summary of the Chapter Chats. The Chapter Chats were designed to explore where the congregation is now and expects to be in 5 years. Here are phrases taken from Sisters’ responses in the Chapter Chats concerning mutual relationships:
| We have more power than we think we do Tenemos más poder de lo que pensamos; |
| Cultivating attitudes of trust and accountability Cultivar actitudes de confianza y responsabilidad; |
| Using our power to stand with, not over, others Utilizar nuestro poder para estar al lado, no por encima, de los demás; |
| Nurturing mutual relationships that offer healing Cultivando relaciones mútuas que ofrecen sanación; |
| Focused on the common good Enfocadas en el bien común |
