Each Liaison guides the Charismatic Renewal according to the particular structural design of his/her diocese. Originally, most Liaisons were priests, whose role it was to keep the Bishop informed about the development of the Charismatic Renewal in the diocese. Today, the Liaison may be a priest, deacon, religious or lay person. The position may be full- or part-time, supported either by the diocesan budget or by funds received through those being served; or a combination of both. The Liaison may have this position in addition to another full- or part-time position, and may or many not have expenses paid. How one ministers as a Liaison varies, but all Liaisons are called to "fan into flame the gift of the Holy Spirit" within their dioceses. Through the Association, one can gather ideas that may be helpful in one's own diocese.
