Greetings,
I am beginning work on my thesis for Canon Law at KU Leuven, and I plan to write about the process of transferring from one religious community to another (Canons 684-685). I plan to treat the subject in four sections: Historical, Sociological/Personal, Theological/Spiritual and Juridical (civil and canon law).
I would particularly be interested in your help in the matter of the Sociological/Personal and the Theological/Spiritual perspectives. I am hoping to get responses to a survey in two parts. One is for transfer-members, a second for the communities from which or to which members transfer.
1. Survey for Transfer Members
You can click the link and follow the instructions to complete the survey. If you would prefer, you may email me your reflections at: a.hereford at yahoo.com. Feel free to respond in English, Spanish, French or Italian. If your community has no transfers, I would also appreciate your filling out the first few survey question on size of community and number of final professions.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Please feel free to share this site with others.
Peace,
Amy
