- CGRL 1/ Subseries : REV. JACQUES VAN GINNEKEN, S.J.
This series is divided into four major subseries: Talks / Lectures, Travel Letters, Articles and Miscellaneous.
- CGRL 1/ Subseries : Talks / Lectures
This subseries is composed of three major categories: 1) Retreat talks, 2) the "Woman" Course, and 3) Miscellaneous. The first category is made up of the transcribed retreat talks Fr. Van Ginneken gave for the Grail members at de Tiltenberg (the International Grail Center in Holland). It consists of 32 separate speeches and meditations. The "Woman" Course was presented, to the Grail members, less than a month after the retreat. The course also consisted of 32 lectures and dealt with the psychology of women. This course became the common base upon which the Grail and formation of new members was based. This course is incomplete, as of October 1984 lectures #27-29 are still missing. The Miscellaneous section consists of various speeches and lectures by Fr. van Ginneken. These talks are not tied as closely together as the retreat or course lectures but instead deal with a different aspect which early Grail leaders felt were essential for the development of members. All three sections contain the Dutch version and usually one or more English translations. The material is arranged numerically and chronologically by category.
- CGRL 1/ Subseries : Travel Letters
This subseries consists of letters written by Rev. van Ginneken, to the Grail, as he traveled through Europe (primarily the Alps). They were meant primarily to be a type of meditation for the nucleus members and in fact numerous excerpts are included as used by the Grail. The letters are in Dutch with one or more English translations. The material is arranged numerically.
- CGRL 1/ Subseries : Articles
Written works by or about van Ginneken which may have been given as talks or lectures. Articles in Dutch, French and English. Records arranged chronologically.
- CGRL 1/ Subseries : Miscellaneous
Various material related to van Ginneken's work. Although probably not written by him, the material appears to draw heavily upon his work extensively. Also included is a sample of Fr. Van Ginneken's handwriting. Material is in both Dutch and English. Records arranged chronologically.
- CGRL 2/ Subseries : INTERNATIONAL STRUCTURES
This diverse series is a collection of the changing statutes, rules, charters and structures of the Grail dating from their early beginnings as the Women of Nazareth to more recent adaptations. It consists of working drafts, census replies, suggestions and evaluations by Grail members, background reference material and the finished drafts. From 1965 most material relating to change or revisions of the statutes centers around the International General Assembly, which acts as the policy making and direction setting body of the Grail. This series also contains some material on the International Nucleus Statutes both alone and as a part of the general statutes. Also of interest is a collection of prints of the early insignia of the Women of Nazareth. See also "International General Assembly," "National Committee" and "International Meetings" Series for additional background material and "Books" Series for additional bound copies of the finished product. This series is arranged chronologically.
