Authors: General Chapter Website

In preparation for the General Chapter 2010 the General Council along with some brothers who have the expertise in media decided to share about our life here in Santa Sabina and some perspectives we have from our experiences of visitations and encountering the brothers. The purpose was to make some videos to generate interest and enthusiasm not only for the Chapter Fathers but also for those who would not be able to participate in the Chapter.

This has been done through the technique of interviews about the mission, study, the consecrated life and the government of the Order of Preachers. We have six short video clips on the four topics.

The Mission: What is the mission of preachers for the 21th century?

Study: Which is the place of the intellectual life in the Catholic Church?

Consecrated Life: How do we live our life in society today?

Government of the Order: What is so unique about Dominican style of government?

We would be grateful if you could make some comment, raise a question, and start a discussion once you have watched the videos. Your feed back will be important for all so that we can deliberate some of these important issues in the forthcoming chapter. We hope you enjoy these videos as we enjoyed making them.

After seeing each video you may make your comments in the dialogue box below.
