This book explores the movements in religious life today and the currents that are emerging among the smaller cohorts of younger religious in mainstream communities of religious women. Hereford traces the history of religious life, including the impact of Vatican II and examines some of the theological sources for the reinvention of religious life today. She explores the current situation of religious, re-imagines the meaning of vows, community, and mission, and examines how the emerging forms of religious life will fit into an emerging church.

I'm looking forward to expanding the conversation about religious life and the hopeful movements that are emerging among us.
Great insight for the entire community of believers! M.Gillis, Mississauga, Ontario
