RENOVARÉ
RENOVARÉ
RENOVARÉ (Latin meaning “to renew”) was founded by Richard J. Foster and is an effort working for the renewal of the Church of Jesus Christ in all her multifaceted expressions. Christian in commitment, international in scope, and ecumenical in breadth, we seek to combine the best from the great Christian traditions with a practical strategy that nurtures spiritual growth.
These traditions include
Contemplative: The Prayer-Filled Life focuses upon intimacy with God and depth of spirituality. This spiritual dimension addresses the longing for a deeper, more vital Christian experience.
Holiness: The Virtuous Life focuses upon personal moral transformation and the power to develop “holy habits.” This spiritual dimension addresses the erosion of moral fiber in personal and social life.
Charismatic: The Spirit-Empowered Life focuses upon the charisms of the Spirit and worship. This spiritual dimension addresses the yearning for the immediacy of God’s presence among his people.
Social Justice: The Compassionate Life focuses upon justice and shalom in all human relationships and social structures. This spiritual dimension addresses the gospel imperative for equity and compassion among all people.
Evangelical: The Word-Centered Life focuses upon the proclamation of the evangel, the good news of the gospel. This spiritual dimension addresses the need for people to see the good news lived and hear the good news proclaimed.
Incarnational: The Sacramental Life focuses upon making present and visible the realm of the invisible spirit. This spiritual dimension addresses the crying need to experience God as truly manifest and notoriously active in daily life.
The practical strategy consists of:
Spiritual Formation Groups: These groups gather around the RENOVARÉ Covenant, Common Disciplines, and Questions of Examen (or Reflection Questions) and provide mutual encouragement and accountability to their members.
