"Regarding free initiative, it is up to lay people, without waiting passively for orders and directives, to include the Christian spirit into the mentality and customs, in laws and structures of the communities in which they live" (Medellin 10-9).
Under the direction of Dr. Carlos Corsi Otalora, who was president of the National Council for the Laity, a member of the Pontifical Council for the Laity and the Executive Secretary of the Department of the Laity of Celam, the movement has participated in many events of city life for peace and defense of life.
