Christian Faith Education (CFE) 105b-CICM in Action: Inter-Religious Dialogue; Environmental Management (Disaster and Risk Reduction Management) is one of the basic subjects of the CICM schools, which expounds the mark of a true CICM which is the zeal for missionary work. This is the sequel of the CFE 105a. Presenting the CICM advocacies of Inter Religious Dialogue and Environmental Management (DRRM), this course shows that the charism of the CICM as a missionary institute is to go out to those who are in most need (ad extra) - to go into frontier situations, to nations (ad gentes) wherever the Good News was not heard especially by the poor.

This course deals with the life and ministry of CICM missionaries worldwide. It focuses on the spirituality and missionary character of the Congregation, anchored on Jesus whose words and deeds become their source of inspiration in order that their faith may be strengthened through the model that He set for them. This course aims to deepen the students’ understanding of the life and mission of the CICM missionaries with Fr. Theophile Verbist and his Companions who laid the foundations of the Congregation. Going through this course, the students will be deeply familiarized with the richness of the Congregation and will be enabled to reflect on the value of its presence for them. As such, this course provides them an avenue for following Jesus more closely in their personal lives as members of the Church, the community of Jesus’ disciples, in the way CICM exemplifies, and with Mary as their inspiration.
