We have by now passed stage two and three on the journey called ROM Gathering 2010. Challenge (stage 2) has been always the most challenging stage of the ROM Gathering (Friday 23/7 – Wednesday 28/7). It is designed to lead participants to assess the painful realities of individual and societal hurts of the communities we are all coming from. The targeted issues are wars, ethnic and religious nationalism, racism, poverty, dysfunctional environments and personal hurts. The objective of this stage of ROM Gathering 2010 is to lead the participants to emotional and spiritual healing and restoration. As a part of the process participants are encouraged to share their own hurts, and to develop a attitude of empathy towards the hurts of others, especially those on the other side of ethnic, racial or religious divide. The tag lines for the Reconciliation and Healing stage are – conflict resolution, identity, forgiveness, reconciliation, healing, peace and social justice.
PURPOSE is the name for the third stage of the ROM Gathering 2010 (Thursday 29/7 – Sunday 1/8), when ROM participants are encouraged to discover their purpose, calling and vision for service in their countries and communities. The emphasis is on leadership of integrity, sacrificial service and the features of leadership modeled by the example of Jesus of Nazareth. The tag lines for the New Paradigm for Leadership stage are – purpose, calling, vision, integrity and leadership of service.
