Constitutions/Rule of Life
Both the Mission Statement and the Stewardship Statement grew out of the concurring effort to develop Constitutions for the Sisters of the Living Word. In one of the first meetings, Annamarie Cook presented a "Basic Document" based on papers prepared for General Chapters of the international community. During their first year of foundation, the SLW outlined the major divisions of the proposed Constitutions and formed committees to prepare preliminary suggestions. In 1977, a Constitutions Committee coordinated the efforts of the entire community in writing what would become the expression of their lived experience as Sisters of the Living Word.

Famous quotes containing the words rule and/or life:
“Therefore doth heaven divide
The state of man in divers functions,
Setting endeavor in continual motion,
To which is fixed, as an aim or butt,
Obedience; for so work the honeybees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Romans, 6:23.
