Koen Roelens
: Judging from Google it would seem that, in English, "resourcement" only exists in a theological context (Vaticanum II) -- and in the name of a Belgian company (Robert Vandewalle's "Resourcement Centre", possibly Alexander's client).

: herbronnen in this context is a verb, not a noun.

: Klant op 't verkeerde been gezet? Kennelijk niet bedoeling Vaticanum II te propageren! Oorspronkelijke 'bron'gedachte: waarschijnlijk Frans (se) ressourcer=opnieuw inspireren, herbronnen enz. Zie o.a. www.renia.net/tip50.html [Rejection well justified.]

Comment: "Tina is right, this concerns a verb, and using "resource" as a verb sounds funny in English. Thanks."

Ton Remkes
: 'regenerate' en bovenstaande alternatieven hebben voornamelijk betrekking op verbetering van lichamelijke condities. 'herbronnen' [ Frans 'ressourcer' o.i. in sterkere mate. Dat kan collega Roelens beter beoordelen!] is vooral 'tussen de oren' bedoeld.
