Community of Practice Agreements

Membership in the Bread of Life Community of Practice is entered through a process of mutual discernment designed by leadership that includes concrete commitments of:

1. Personal practice

2. Active engagement in the life of the Community of Practice through small group and other gatherings

3. Chosen acts of service through Bread of Life and/or other venues in the world

4. Financial support to Bread of Life.

Benefits and Responsibilities of Membership

The primary benefit of Community of Practice membership is companionship with a diversity of like-committed people who desire to:

1. Continue growing in the depth contemplative journey

2. Explore and discern with others the invitation to the human family

3. Support one another in discerned relinquishment of old patterns to more fully respond to the creative invitation of the Spirit here and now.

The ways in which we do this work together will be discerned in the Community of Practice and will evolve over time.

The primary responsibility is commitment to the mutual agreements as described in the Community of Practice Statement and evidenced in willingness to engage in compassionate mutual accountability around those agreements.
