INTRODUCTION


We as foreign religious indeed appreciate the CMBR who organises the KRL meeting with a great enthusiasm from 2000 till 2006.
Father Theo Vergeer, OFM as the chairman of CMBR in his introduction speech has explained about KRL and its goals.

The 7th KRL meeting is carried out on 12th Oct. 2006 in O.L. Vrouw Ter Eem – Amersfoort It was a very fruitful meeting, especially the presentation of the advice document (arranged by Gerard Moorman) as a sign of serious and great attention towards the presence of the foreign languages in The Netherlands.
Through sharing of the participants during the meeting, we experience that this meeting was a very fruitful one both for the foreign religious and the Dutch fellow sisters and brothers.
Reviews the theme of the meeting - ‘Intercultural – dialogue within international religious orders and congregations’ A sign for all people?- we together want to go further to our wider world through dialog and communication, especially based on different cultures we have.
Frans Dokman invited the participants to think it over in deeply discussion during the meeting. How do we deal with all situation/ events etc. in our concreted experiences? I think the main goal of mutual understanding, to respect each other, to be open towards the different cultures, can be a great help to have a good dialogue and communication with others wherever she / he come from.
Further....................
"Along the way we want to become sisters to one another and to build our community in our wider world and commit ourselves to a new society in which human beings will be recognized as sisters and brothers"
