Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement
The Focolare Movement is an international organization of spiritual and social renewal and Christian new religious movement that promotes the ideals of unity and universal brother/sisterhood grounded in the Golden Rule. It was founded by then elementary school teacher Chiara Lubich in 1943 in Trento, Northern Italy, as a Roman Catholic lay movement; it remains largely Roman Catholic but includes and sympathizes with other Christian denominations, other religions and non-religious people.
