Globalization challenges the Church to be more missionary than ever before in its history. At this time of dramatic changes, U.S. Catholics face special responsibilities and opportunities for Christian leadership. As Catholics, we are called to live in solidarity and justice with the people of the world, particularly the poor and marginalized. Missioners serve in a unique way to move humanity toward global community. USCMA is an association of lay and religious members who are involved in missionary service. Our varied experiences with God and life challenge us to welcome all who seek to respond to their call to mission at home and abroad. We are in a new moment, seeing new possibilities for mission. USCMA continues to engage in the universal (catholic) Christian call to mission. USCMA seeks to foster and support existing and new forms of cross-cultural and inter-religious partnerships. At the heart of mission is a spirituality that recognizes solidarity among God’s people, reaches out to the poor, always attempts to build mutual relationships. In this way, USCMA assists the local and universal church in building the reign of God. FOCUS AREAS: USCMA will concentrate it efforts on the integration of the key elements of mission: Proclamation, Witness, Dialogue, Spirituality and Prayer, and Reconciliation and Social Transformation. The call of the Gospel focuses our passion to share with others seeking God through proclamation, dialogue, and prayer. Responding to this call, USCMA will continue to focus on the missionary nature of the Church in light of the ethnic and cultural diversity that characterizes our time. Aware of the challenges and opportunities presented by inculturation, USCMA seeks to strengthen its involvement in cross-cultural and inter-religious collaboration. USCMA works for social transformation through an integral vision of mission and justice. We strive for reconciliation and healing among all God’s people and with all creation. USCMA will address a deeper integration of a spirituality of solidarity and reconciliation in this era of globalization. USCMA will initiate conversations emphasizing developing areas of mission, such as, evolving theologies of mission, short-term and partnering mission experiences. AREAS OF ACTIVITIES: The board and membership of USCMA are committed to supporting and participating with the staff as they: • Maintain publications, research, conferences, and mission statistics. • Continue efforts at collaboration and networking with mission offices (congregation and diocesan), campus ministry offices, and mission oriented groups. • Implement directions emerging from Mission Congress 2005. • Explore and utilize appropriate technology for communication, mission animation, and education. iv USCMA BOARD OF DIRECTORS Executive Committee: Sr. Mary McGlone, CSJ.........................................................President Rev.
