A Time of Transition Between Autonomy and Dependence

A socio-historical account of the relationship between two charisms

Abstract

A lesson held at the third theological seminar, entitled Two Charisms in Communion in the Church Today (Sophia University Institute, 13–14 June 2013), where the relationship between the charism of “most high poverty” of Francis and Chiara of Assisi and the charism of unity of Chiara Lubich was explored. This event was organized at the conclusion of a course entitled “The Holy Spirit and charisms”, and represents a step towards further research.
