| IRS990/Desc | 0 | The Focolare Movement in recent years has begun coordinating efforts to deploy the spirituality of unity to bring people together to counter polarization and division. A major part of this work is taking place in the Washington, DC area but the effect is across the U.S. and beyond. Efforts include a Washington, DC based activity called the Focolare Hub that features Focolare Forum for Dialogue and Culture and interreligious dialogue. The work also includes Racial Equity (Courageous Conversations), the Youth Center for North America (YCNA), and other activities of the Focolare Movement aimed at breaking down barriers through the spirituality of unity, implementing Jesus' prayer to the Father that all may be one (cf. Jn 17). |
