Our life as mission At the General Assembly in Lebanon (2013), the assembled delegates decided (after discernment) to invite the World Community to focus its actions on four frontiers: Globalization and Poverty, Ecology, Family and Youth.

This time, we close a cycle of reviewing these specific fields of mission by asking some communities to share with us how the fundamental message of the Buenos Aires Assembly has influenced their work with Families and Youth. - 2020 No. 2
Even in times of pandemic, we have seen the efforts of so many who continue to bet on creativity and wish to remain united, in community, sharing, celebrating, accompanying. And perhaps that is why Adolfo Nicolás said: “The Christian is essentially communitarian. Wherever he goes he creates community, because he accepts, forgives, rejoices, supports, and endures”. Let us continue to create community. - 2020 No. 1
It has become a time to rediscover the important things inside our hearts, and to realize that despite the individual circumstances which we are all experiencing, we can all feel our days with deep meaning, and with a prayer that carries trust and hope: We shall embrace again. - 2019 No. 1 & 2

Standing Orders
Standing orders express the operating procedures followed by the World Executive Council when dealing with certain issues. Since fixed rules do not express the richness of a dynamic community life, it is important to be able to change those operating procedures without too much difficulty.
Standing orders in CLC are discussed and adopted by a simple majority vote at the meeting of the World Executive Council, which informs the next General Assembly of the decisions made.
- Criteria and Procedures for Establishing a National Community as a Member of the World CLC
- Criteria for nomination of delegate to the World Assembly
- Procedure and criteria for nomination of candidates to the World CLC Executive Council
- Election procedures in the General Assembly
- Profile and Responsibilities of the Executive Secretary
- Standing Order 16: Protection for minors and vulnerable persons against abuse
