The Fe y Alegría way of proceeding

Abstract

In recent years, Fe y Alegria has made references to its way of proceeding, an expression that denotes the distinctive qualities of an institution and, consequently, contributes to the improvement of the organizational culture, favoring the bond of the collaborators with the purpose institutional, transcending the classic contractual relationships. In the Ignatian tradition, in which Fe y Alegría participates, the way of proceeding goes back to the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus. In this sense, a characterization of Fe y Alegria's way of proceeding requires, up to a point, to refer to that of the Society of Jesus. The essay will review, first, the way of proceeding of the Society of Jesus and in a second moment, that of Fe y Alegria, after a tour of the documents of the international congresses that the International Federation holds annually. At the end some conclusions will be presented.
