The training programme for MCCC members will begin after Easter Sunday.
Anyone wishing to be a member of MCCC will have to go through a training programme which normally lasts the duration of six months. The training programme comes in three eight-session modules. After completing each module, participants are expected to attend the weekend retreat which focuses intensely on one particular aspect of membership in MCCC. The eight sessions are being conducted in groups consisting of around six to eight members. Once a group has successfully completed the first module, it will form a unit of MCCC. A facilitator will guide the units through the eight weekly sessions which centres around scripture readings specially chosen to draw out a particular aspect of the qualities of being a member of MCCC.
The training sessions are now made available through this website with instructions for facilitators on how to conduct the weekly sessions (go to the Formation menu). Once the groups have successfully completed the first module, the facilitators will have to arrange a suitable weekend for a retreat to take place. The units will then be registered as MCCC units during this retreat. The second module can only begin after the members have attended the retreat. MCCC units can be formed anywhere by completing the three modules.
In Kuala Belait, Brunei, the first session will be conducted on Sunday, 15 April 2007. The first retreat is scheduled to take place in June 2007.
