Gabriel Calvo of Spain conceptualized and laid the<br>groundwork for “Encuentro Conjugal,” a seminar renewal method<br>for strengthening marriages. Owing to its success, the method was<br>introduced in the United States in the late 60’s. Fr. Chuck Gallagher,<br>SJ, seeing its vast potential, developed it further to include renewal of<br>the ministerial priesthood and the consecrated religious life. Together<br>with three couples, he launched it into a worldwide movement which<br>today is known as the Worldwide Marriage Encounter. While the<br>movement is Catholic in expression and intention it is open to all<br>married couples regardless of religion, race, culture, education or<br>social status. Today WWME is in 92 countries, 12 of which are in<br>Asia, namely, India, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, Sri Lanka, Philippines,<br>Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Bangladesh, UAE/Dubai and China.</p>}, number={02}, journal={Asian Horizons}, author={Repotente, Pol and Repotente, Nena}, year={2010}, month={Dec.}, pages={309–313} }
