Cycle Six
January – May 2006
Congregational Meetings, Personal Discernment

In the Spring of 2006, the congregational meetings of the sixth cycle allowed opportunities for further discussion of implications of each option, using the learnings from the Convocation of the fifth cycle. Three modules of were developed to facilitate some of the meetings, designed by the new Futuring Subcommittee. Theys focused on Don Goergen's Convocation presentation, Dan Ward's Convocation presentation, and a video about Spiral Dynamics , a concept raised during Don Goergen's presentation. Summaries of the feedback received from these three modules can be read here.

In May, 2006, a formal "leaning" was taken where each Sister could express her level of support for the Cluster process, and for one option or the other. This lead to the CCC recommendation of the seventh cycle.
