Documents of General Congregation 34 -- A Synopsis
The 34th General Congregation [GC34] of the Society of Jesus met in
Rome in the first three months of 1995. Its work affects the immediate
future of Jesuits worldwide. The major work of GC 34 was the
revision of Jesuit law and the orientation of Jesuit mission for
today. Yet a number of important areas of Jesuit life and mission
were also treated.
The
