Religious life is vitally necessary to the Catholic church today.
But it will exist in new and varied forms which speak to the
spiritual hungers of different societies, ethnic cultures, and
generations. God’s Call Is Everywhere is the first comparative
analysis of research in six countries investigating women who have
entered vowed religious life in Catholicism in the twenty-first
century. The data include survey responses from institute leaders,
formation directors, and the women themselves, conducted in the
United States, Canada, Australia, and France, along with focus
groups and interviews in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France.
Through a careful summary of these studies and comparing
differences, readers of this book will have a better understanding
of the hopes and concerns of those discerning a vocation to
religious life and learn how to move forward in the future. Â
God’s Call Is Everywhere includes six major points of comparison:
Demographic characteristics of the women entering religious life
and their personal and familial backgrounds What attracted them to
religious life and to their specific religious institute What they
find most satisfying and most challenging about religious life
Their hopes and concerns for the future Experiences and programs
that were helpful in their vocational discernment Aspects of the
larger society, of the Church, and of the religious institutes
which make vocational discernment difficult for women today The
analysis is followed by six reflective essays, two of which discuss
the implications of the findings for future vocational discernment
programs and four of which compare the findings to religious life
in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
