The focus of this research is on the sustainability of local religious congregations that do not maintain a presence in the Global South. This trend provokes significant questions about the future viability of these congregations, especially in the Global North, such as in the United States. How can these communities sustain themselves amid the ongoing decline in membership? What are the broader implications of this trend for consecrated life in general? As the research progressed, it became increasingly clear that the complexities underlying these issues were more profound than they initially appeared. The profoundness of the problems is that consecrated individuals often engage in a deep, introspective practice of attuning themselves to their inner spiritual life and discerning God's direction-understanding where and to whom they are being sent. In this sense, they are like wandering hearts, seeking knowledge, connection with God, and unity with humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47649603289309,"sku":"9798892485937","price":58.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/tQ7C3DpNBW9798892485937.webp?v=1773883050","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/religious-women-as-global-migrants-to-the-united-states-critical-conversations-about-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
