A family around the world. Connected<\/strong>\u00bb. This is the announcement with which the worldwide conference call, or linkup, is launched on the web, one of the original characteristics of the Focolare under the aspect of communication. And this is how it is explained:  <b>When<\/b>: It was born in 1980. It was the 11th of August, the feast of St. Clare of Assisi. \u00a0On that day, her name day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/chiara-lubich\/chi-e-chiara\/\">Chiara Lubich<\/a> was in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/focolare-worldwide\/europa\/svizzera\/\">Switzerland <\/a>together with a handful of people who were greeting her: it was a family celebration. A profound communion was created among them.  <b>Who<\/b>: In the days that followed, from Chiara\u2019s house, a chain of telephone calls was initiated that kept alive the perceived reality of being one family. The news that arrived from the communities of the Focolare in the various countries of the world were communicated. Chiara proposed to this group of people, a spiritual thought so as to live together, with increasing intensity, the spirituality of unity.  <b>How<\/b>: In those days they discovered in Switzerland (CH) the existence of a service called \u201ccollective telephone conference call\u201d and so they made us of it immediately. Such a linkup, in the weeks that followed, was extended to other nations, up to the point of reaching all the Countries where the Focolare is present.  <div id=\"attachment_107148\" style=\"width: 305px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/96706325\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107148\" class=\"size-full wp-image-107148\" style=\"margin-right: 10px\" alt=\"20140614-01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/20140614-01.jpg\" width=\"295\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-107148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/96706325<\/p><\/div>  <b>Why<\/b>: In time and with the swift evolution of telecommunications, it has passed from the conference call to streaming and to satellite transmission, because, Chiara affirmed, \u201can Opera, which has unity as its ideal\u201d, a family \u201cnow spread all over the planet\u201d\u00a0 must share \u201camong all, using the fastest and most adequate means\u201d, \u201cjoys, sufferings, hopes, projects\u201d, to experience \u201cthe love that goes and comes back\u201d, to make the journey together, \u201cthe holy journey\u201d of life.  <b>For a united world:<\/b> The strong and joyful experience of \u201cunity and of universality\u201d is made that links hundreds of thousands of people, spread in all the five continents, directed towards universal brotherhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of this month, a video conference which periodically reunites the family of the Focolare Movement worldwide, is made accessible through a dedicated website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[893,894],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-326492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-focolare-worldwide-2","category-senza-categoria-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326492\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
