International
Movement We Are Church
(IMWAC)
About
us
Our
Objectives are set out in
Membership
-
IMWAC is a network of independent
and autonomous groups, each representing a different culture where Catholic
Christians are endeavouring to live out the message of Jesus Christ.
-
Groups relate to one another as
brothers and sisters without 'hierarchy'
-
IMWAC does not have individual members.
-
In principle, groups operate nationwide
but in some countries cultural differences may allow more than one We
Are Church group.
-
Local groups may have more objectives
that those listed in the Roman Declaration or Manifesto, but international
cooperation and collaboration is concentrated upon them.
We
believe
-
that it is in the local Church that
the message of Jesus takes shape and that local people are responsible
for its transmission and conduct.
-
Our endeavour to build a 'community
of communities' strengthens us to build the realm of God and Jesus Christ.
Outline
of Organisation
-
Local groups are responsible for
their own actions
-
To promote international cooperation
each local group is invited to nominate two representatives to the IMWAC
Council.
-
The IMWAC Council elects a Coordination
Team who promote networking, faciliate communication and coordinate
international activity
