About Us

Our Objectives are set out in

Our founding document - "The Roman Declaration"
The Manifesto of the International Movement We Are Church
 
We believe

that it is in the local Church that the message of Jesus takes shape and that local people are responsible for its transmission and conduct.

Our endeavour to build a 'community of communities' strengthens us to build the realm of God and Jesus Christ.
 
Membership

IMWAC is a network of independent and autonomous groups, each representing a different culture where Catholic Christians are endeavouring to live out the message of Jesus Christ.
 
Groups relate to one another as brothers and sisters without 'hierarchy' IMWAC does not have individual members.

In principle, groups operate nationwide but in some countries cultural differences may allow more than one We Are Church group.

Local groups may have more objectives that those listed in the Roman Declaration or Manifesto, but international cooperation and collaboration is concentrated upon them.
 
Outline of Organisation

Local groups are responsible for their own actions

To promote international cooperation each local group is invited to nominate two representatives to the IMWAC Council.
