The leadership of the largest organization representing U.S. women religious announced this afternoon that the board of the group will meet in an “atmosphere of prayer, contemplation and dialogue” in May to discuss news that the Vatican has ordered it to revise its statutes and has appointed an archbishop to oversee the revision.
The announcement comes on the website of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), which was the subject of the April 18 order from the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and is signed by the group’s president, president-elect, and past-president.
The statement says the national board of the group will meet from May 29-June 1 to “begin its discussion” on the matter.
