Through charitable giving, we are called into a new, more spiritual relationship with our own personal needs and resources; we begin to see all things in this world as “gifts of God, with the potential of calling forth in us a deeper response to our life in God,” (
Spiritual Exercises, Principle and Foundation).
The mission of CLC-USA is to witness, in concrete actions, to our universal Christian calling – in our families and our work, our life in society and church, in our nation and in our shared planet. The dynamic of CLC is one of communal discerning, sending, supporting and evaluating. Stewardship, financial co-responsibility, is an important component of Christian Life Community. Supporting means to give of our time, our talents, and increasingly, our treasure.
Giving to CLC-USA is a concrete way of expressing gratitude to God for a lifetime of blessings. For the CLC community, giving is a way of expressing our gratitude and our solidarity with the local, national and world CLC communities.
