In the new six-page Things Marianist on community building, Brother Thomas F. Giardino, SM, develops four principles that guided the thought and practical wisdom of Father Chaminade's world-changing approach to community. Coupled with this analysis is Brother Tom's experience of building Marianist community--both lay and vowed religious--for more than 45 years. One result of this historical, theological, and lived examination is Things Marianist, "What Are Chaminade's Principles for Community Building?"
To find out what these "principles" are and to read their practical implication for building the Reign of God in the Google era, order a personal copy or copies for your community. Reflection on this Things Marianist would make for a wonderful topic for a community meeting, and at a truly affordable price.
