The Edmund Rice Network is an association of Groups, institutions and people that look to Edmund's story as their personal inspiration or that have a connection to an Edmund Rice/Christian Brothers' inspired ministry.

It is clear that there are many differing experiences of being "involved" - and hence many different responses from time to time.

One of the great advantages of the current situation is flexibility and variety - whatever happens to assist now in the development of the ERN it is important that this flexibility and variety be maintained.

So - how do you know you are in the ERN?

• by identifying with some part of the above definition, or an appropriate variation of it - no definition can be all encompassing
• and, we hope from now on, by receiving the ERN Newsletter that will aim at giving all concerned a common link and identity.

Who are the Contact People/Coordinators within ERN?

Commonly this will not matter much to you because your link is through your ministry - e.g. if you are a staff member in a school, then you will have the involvement with the Edmund Rice Charism through the Charter and other school's activities - if you are an Edmund Rice Camp Leader you will have that involvement through the Camps Coordinator and ministry there - and so on.
