The Christian Life Movement (CLM; (スペイン語:Movimiento de Vida Cristiana), ''MVC'') is a lay ecclesial movement, founded in 1985, in Peru. At that time, a number of initiatives from members of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae had already begun. Luis Fernando Figari, the Founder of the Sodalitium, conceived the idea of gathering those people and initiatives together in an ecclesiastic movement. The Christian Life Movement forms part of the Sodalit Family, which shares a common spirituality, called the Sodalit spirituality.〔("What is the Sodalit Family" ) from the Sodalitium's webpage.〕 Communities of the Christian Life Movement have spread through Peru and neighboring American countries ever since. As time went by and the movement grew, it eventually received the Holy See's recognition as the International Association of Christian Faithful of Pontifical Right. This took place on March 23, 1994,〔(List of International Associations of the Faithful )〕 the feast day of Saint Turibius of Mongrovejo, who was Archbishop of Lima and Primate of much of Latin America between 1580 and 1606. The Christian Life Movement obtained recognition of the Apostolic See through a Decree of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, presided over by Cardinal Eduardo Pironio. This Pontifical Council is currently presided over by Cardinal Stanisław Ryłko.〔(Website of the Pontifical Council for the Laity )〕 According to the Vatican website for the Pontifical Council for the Laity, the "CLM aims to be a community forum for encountering the Lord Jesus Christ, which fosters an authentic Christian life by announcing and bearing witness to the faith and the comprehensive advancement of the human person in the light of the Gospel and the Magisterium of the Church. Its members, men and women of different states of life, place the pursuit of holiness, apostolic commitment and service to God and our fellow men and women, at the heart of their life experience. The priority areas for its work are evangelisation of young people; commitment to solidarity with the poor, the sick and the elderly and abandoned children; the evangelisation of culture; the protection of the family and the defence of life from conception to natural death; the mass media and the new communications technologies. The spirituality of CLM, which offers its members a personal and community-based process of ongoing formation, is characterised by devotion to the Immaculate Conception, an intense participation in liturgical life, meditation on the Word of God as the light to direct their lives and as the key to a critical reading of human projects."〔(List of International Associations of the Faithful )〕 ==Organization== The CLM is directed by a General Coordinator, who is in charge of a General Council of coordination. The current General Coordinator is Alexandre Borges.〔("The CLM is the great point of encounter of the Sodalit Family" ) from the Sodalitium's website.〕 Its members participate in various associations, like: * ''Bethlehem Groups'', for children. * ''Marian Groups'', for youth and young adults. * ''Bethany Groups'', for adult women. * ''Emmaus Groups'', for adult men. * ''Nazareth Groups'', for married couples. At the local level the CLM is organized in apostolic centers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christian Life Movement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
