Emmanuel Community
The Emmanuel Community was born in Paris in 1972, at the heart of the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church, following the Second Vatican Council. Today, with more than 8,000 members, the Community is present in 57 countries. All states of life are represented: families, single people, priests (223), seminarians (100), consecrated lay people living in celibacy for the kingdom (25 brothers and 170 sisters). Together, in the complementarity of their states of life, they strive to respond to the call of God: to serve and to proclaim Christ in the contemporary world. Adoration, compassion, evangelisation
The founding charism of the Community derives from the deep communion between the common priesthood (of the baptised) and the ministerial priesthood (the priests) in the same spiritual life marked by eucharistic adoration, adoration of God "Emmanuel", that is "God-with-us", adoration from which flows compassion, itself a source of the desire to evangelise, to announce to the whole world the Good News of Salvation. The Moderator of the Emmanuel Community is Laurent Landete. The community is governed by the International Council. On 20 June 2009, the Emmanuel Community was erected as an International Public Association of the Faithful by a decision of the Pontifical Council of the Laity.
