What is Economy of Communion?
Principles of Organisation
- EoC-Asia Pacific shall be organised according to the principles of constant and mutual love, in true practice of communion, mutual giving and with a preference for the poor by choosing to eliminate inequality as its goal.
- EoC-Asia Pacific is founded on the principles of the Economy of Communion initiated by Chiara Lubich in 1991 and further developed within the Work of Mary (Focolare), a Catholic Lay Movement whose specific aim is to bring about a united world.
- Leadership shall always be exercised in service of the others and be inclusive of all classes.
- It has to be the home of communities throughout Asia Pacific.
- Its professionalism is a fruit of doing things out of love.
- It is an organisation focused on delivering impact for the common good.
EoC Asia Pacific is to be registered initially in the Philippines.
Since the EoC Asian Congress in 2016, there has been a growing desire to enhance the impact of those who believe in the idea proposed by UNESCO Peace Prize Winner: Chiara Lubich on shaping a fair and inclusive economy based on love for neighbour.
For the first time, we will organise ourselves as a region to include professionals, academia, entreprenuers, businesses, non- profit, youth so that we can amplify our impact and better prepare ourselves in a new world brought about by Covid-19.
If you have already been working for a united world through the economy and if you consider a neighbour in need is our challenge too, then we invite you to join us.
