Our main topic in this integration paper is “Misconception of Evangelical Counsel of Poverty: Franciscan Missionaries of Hope” I divided it into four chapters. CHAPTER I; it deals with the FMH Evangelical Counsel of Poverty. In this theme we will see four subtitles: Background of “ndugus” of FMH; Ndugus understanding of ECP.; Ndugus leaving all and following Christ; and Ndugus struggle and their fruits. This chapter says much about my community and way of life.
In CHAPTER II, it focuses on the Theology of evangelical counsel of poverty. In this context, we will see five important areas such as, History of evangelical counsel of poverty; Exegetical understanding; The god of the poor; the code of Canon Law; and the teaching of the Church.
My community being following the spirit of St. Francis, CHAPTER III dedicated to him. The topic is poverty with St. Francis of Assisi. We will see different writings of Francis and Clare such as The later rule; A letter to brother Leo; The versified legend of the virgin Clare; The radical poverty of St. Francis; and Poverty and dynamics nature.
