Beschreibung
While building on a comprehensive reading of available archival sources in the Menzingen Religious Institute,
this work provides a greater understanding of the possibilities and the difficulties of a return textit{ad fontes}
in the Church and in religious life. It discloses that a struggle for a founding inspiration is a struggle for
the memory. The theoretical framework which has been constructed from scriptural sources in this study, is likely
to be of use in a theological interpretation of any Christian founding event.
Sr. M. Finbarr Coffey is a teacher in Philosophy and Ethics at the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, London.
She is also the author of: The Question of Relativism: an Essay in Epistemology. New Millennium, London,
