Do you think these folk will be more integrated into a given community's life(i.e., their ministries, activities, etc.) than they are now? How do you view the associates of your order? Is it difficult for older, more traditional sisters to accept associates? Donna Sister Julie and others:

I'll check out your review and then perhaps the book. Have you read Can Religious Life Be Prophetic? My IHM Mission Unit (a group of 20 or so IHM Sisters and Associates that meets periodically to pray, converse, and enjoy one another's company) is going to be discussing the book at our next meeting. So far I'm enjoying the book. Very timely. RAnn, I’ve seen it but have not read it yet. I’ll check out your review and then perhaps the book. Have you read Can Religious Life Be Prophetic?
