Shared Vision: Jesuit Spirit in Education - Part 3: Transitions

$31.50

Part Three, Transitions, shows the enduring power of the Ignatian vision which, after surviving the eighteenth-century partial suppression of the Society of Jesus, enabled Jesuits to begin an ambitious new educational endeavor in the United States. The classical humanism of European Jesuit schools evolved in the New World as Jesuits responded to immigrant Catholics and assisted a Church that took root and grew despite a sometimes hostile culture. Vatican II, in the second half of the twentieth century, brought new changes and an openness to God's working in the world that recall the formative insight of St. Ignatius, who found God in all things. The Society of Jesus, under Fr. Pedro Arrupe, came to a new understanding of the relationship of faith and justice that, along with Vatican II's message of the importance of lay people in the Church's mission, has transformed Jesuit schools in the United States.
