“Associate Programs enable lay members and religious congregations to strengthen the gifts of the other and to learn from the gifts of the other at the same time. Associates bring to a congregation the gift of immersion in another whole dimension of life – with all its insights, all its understandings, all its muddy complications and its cry for our awareness, our involvement, our voice. Religious bring to associates the lived experience of a long-standing tradition that has withstood the test of time over centuries of challenge, stabilized whole layers of people in the midst of grave dangers and given direction to whole bodies of seekers at times of great darkness.”

- Joan Chittister, OSB at 2002 NACAR Conference
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
