About Us

Pat Carter and Kuruvila and Lois Zachariah are long-time members of Christian Life Community, Pat in the US and the Zachariahs in Canada. Because of theircommitment to CLC they have focused increasingly on the importance of the dynamics of small faith-sharing groups as incorporating material from the ISECP (Ignatian Spiritual Exercises for the Corporate Person) program and “Spiritual Intimacy and Community” by John English, SJ. Their major motivation is to promote the formation and well-being of such story groups through contemporary expressions of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. This is our small contribution to what Thomas Berry calls the “Great Work”.
