| Summary: | This article examines the movement in religious life toward internationalism as exemplified in the history of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. This congregation had a long (1812-1947) identity and mission as exclusively American yet marked by continual and challenging multi-cultural, multinational, sectional, and racial differences. The move to mission-sending in India and Belize brought new members, the development of international leadership, and new challenges to cultural awareness and adaptation. New and global experiences for members of all three nations led finally to a stated identity as an international congregation and consequent extension of mission and development in practices of communication and unification. |
