	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Congregation of the Holy Cross
		The essential purpose of the congregation is threefold: the perfection of individual members by the practice of the evangelical counsels; the sanctification of their fellow-men by preaching the Divine word, especially in country places and foreign missions; and the instruction and Christian education of youth.
		This religious body was in its inception a by-product of the great French Revolution, or, rather, of the reaction from the frenzied hatred of religion and religious education that marked the decade from the meeting of the States General in 1789 to the end of the Directory in 1799.
		In the earlier decade of the congregation's history, its members were recruited principally from the ranks of the students attending the colleges and schools conducted by the fathers and brothers, with occasional vocations discovered in the course of missions, triduums, and retreats preached by members of the congregation.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Maurists
		In 1618 a general chapter of the Congregation of St-Vannes was held at St-Mansuet de Toul, whereat it was decided that an independent congregation should be erected for the reformed houses in France, having its superior residing within that kingdom.
		The congregation soon attracted to its ranks many of the most learned scholars of the period, and though its greatest glory undoubtedly lies in the seventeenth century, yet, throughout the eighteenth century also, it continued to produce works whose solidity and critical value still render them indispensable to modern students.
		In 1837, when Gregory XVI established the Congregation of France under the governance of the Abbey of Solesmes, the new congregation was declared the successor of all the former congregations of French Benedictines, including that of St-Maur.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Roman Congregations
		In this congregation, as in others, matters of greater importance are considered by the full congregation of the cardinals; among these matters are the interpretation of laws in doubtful cases, the granting of unusual dispensations, the revision of provincial councils, and the like.
		This congregation also instructs the members of the Noble Guard and the ablegate who are sent to convey to new cardinals, living in Catholic states outside of Rome, the news of their promotion, together with the cardinal's hat and the red biretta.
		As in other congregations, all graver matters must be referred to the full congregation of cardinals, which therefore determines the establishment of new universities, the more important changes in universities already existing, and the graver questions which may present themselves for solution in such institutions, the general conduct of which it also directs.

		The Newtonville congregation, which belongs to the Protestant Swedenborgian faith, decided a decade ago it was too expensive to heat the church's sanctuary.

		The congregation may not include enough children for a Sunday school, but it boasts members "from 9 to 91," said Bauer.

	Third Congregation of Adidam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		Members of the third congregation are individuals from all walks of life who have a clear sympathy, admiration and respect for Avatar Adi Da and are moved to support His Work in the world, without (at least for the present) taking up the practice of Adidam Ruchiradam.

		One of the principal services of a member of the third congregation of Adidam is advocacy—effectively advocating Avatar Adi Da in the world—through your individual skills, position, or professional expertise.

	Beth Israel Congregation - Membership - History
		The congregation, like many in smaller towns, continued without a Rabbi, hiring various functionaries who wore several hats at the same time: very often that of the Hebrew teacher, the schochet (kosher slaughterer), and the cantor.
		Under the leadership of Rabbi Kensky, the congregation transformed itself from a non-egalitarian congregation (as most Conservative congregations were at the time) to a fully egalitarian congregation.
		This occurred over a period of ten years, but the fabric of the congregation was kept intact because of the deliberateness of the discussions and the respect shown by people to divergent views.
