Process for Engaging Core Commitments
A faith-based process of listening/prayer, study, action, and reflection informs the exploration of CCR core commitments and all subsequent concepts and topics. The process begins with listening to the Word of God and letting it invite study and action and eventual reflection on new knowledge and undertakings. While detailed separately, these components are more readily integrated providing a seamless flow of practices for engaging in CCR work.
