Spirituality of the Preacher
Preaching is at the heart of the Dominican vocation. The Dominican Leadership Conference claims for all members of the Dominican Family the right to preach, and commits itself to the struggle this claim entails. The injustices of our day compel us to place the charism of preaching at the service of the poor and powerless. The Dominican prophetic message, rooted in experience, study, and prayer, will move both preachers and hearers of the Word to act for the transformation of oppressive structures... We embrace the mission of preaching for justice, with a commitment to act in collaboration with one another and all those with and among whom we minister. (Dominican Leadership Conference)
