May 2010: New German ExCo: Wolfram Nichell, Karin Wilbs, Ernst Langner, Veronika Jodlbauer, Maria Boxberg, Hildegard Joeres, Thomas Gertler SJ, Oswald Zimmer

2. Main Topics / Concerns
Simple lifestyle / live simply (individuals, community; swap ideas [magazine], more economic accommodation for Sp.Ex.; guest rooms?)
“Spiritual language”: How do we speak about our faith? Do we? To whom?
Our specific role in the church: Share CLC treasures; “Sentire cum Ecclesia”
Political involvement: Inspired by the Ignatian indifference, not by fear

3. Project: Retreat House Ahmsen
