Free Download Resting on the Heart of Christ: The Vocation and Spirituality of the Seminary Theologian By James Keating
2019 | 212 Pages | ISBN: 0980045568 | EPUB | 1 MB
Graduate study is difficult, but for the seminarian it ought not to be void of spiritual growth. Such growth has long been hallowed in the processes of study but spiritual growth can also be developed and encouraged in the actual practices of attending to theological content. As Pope Benedict once noted, "The faithful expect only one thing from priests: that they be specialists in promoting the encounter between man and God. ... [The priest] is expected to be an expert in the spiritual life." Seminarians want to encounter God in study so as to draw their future parishioners into His Truth which is love. The question for seminary theologians is this: How can we serve this longing while also calling seminarians into the ascetics of study? Resting on the Heart of Christ answers this question by integrating the best of theological research with the rich, intellectual tradition of the Church and the wisdom of the saints, ensuring conversion of both mind and heart. A new book from the Institute for Priestly Formation. Deacon James Keating, Ph. D., is a permanent deacon of the Archdiocese of Omaha and the Director of Theological Formation at the Institute for Priestly Formation.

Free Download Christi M. Smith, "Reparation and Reconciliation: The Rise and Fall of Integrated Higher Education"
English | 2016 | pages: 335 | ISBN: 1469630699, 1469630680 | PDF | 24,1 mb
Reparation and Reconciliation is the first book to reveal the nineteenth-century struggle for racial integration on U.S. college campuses. As the Civil War ended, the need to heal the scars of slavery, expand the middle class, and reunite the nation engendered a dramatic interest in higher education by policy makers, voluntary associations, and African Americans more broadly. Formed in 1846 by Protestant abolitionists, the American Missionary Association united a network of colleges open to all, designed especially to educate African American and white students together, both male and female. The AMA and its affiliates envisioned integrated campuses as a training ground to produce a new leadership class for a racially integrated democracy. Case studies at three colleges-Berea College, Oberlin College, and Howard University-reveal the strategies administrators used and the challenges they faced as higher education quickly developed as a competitive social field.

Free Download Renewal: How a New Generation of Faithful Priests and Bishops Is Revitalizing the Catholic Church By Anne Hendershott; Christopher White
2013 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 1594037027 | EPUB | 1 MB
In the wake of the clergy abuse scandal of the last decade, many media commentators predicted the "end" of the Catholic priesthood. Demands for an end to celibacy, coupled with calls for women's ordination, dominated discussions on the effectiveness of the Catholic Church in America.Renewalargues that rather than a decline of the priesthood and a diminishing influence of the Catholic Church, we are living in a time of transformation and revitalization. The aging generation of progressives that continues to lobby Church leaders to change Catholic teachings on reproductive rights, same-sex marriage and women's ordination is being replaced by younger men and women who are attracted to the Church because of the very timelessness of its teachings.

Free Download Religious Vocation: An Unnecessary Mystery By Richard Butler
2005 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0895558238 | EPUB | 1 MB
The question of discerning a vocation is agonized over by many generous young Catholics today. A solid Thomist, who wrote this book in 1961, Father Butler shows that this type of question shows a totally wrong approach to a religious vocation - an approach that began with misguided theology in the 20th century, which then trickled down to the popular level, confusing both aspirants and spiritual directors. Though Fr. Butler deals primarily with vocations to the religious life, he also gives the classic guidelines on priestly vocations. The author states, based on the tradition of the Church, that religious vocation is not uncommon, rare or extraordinary and that it does not require an introspective search for some special voice or attraction. This book provides welcome, intelligent guidance both for spiritual directors and for those considering the religious life or that of the priesthood!

Free Download R. Kirtie Algoe, "Religion, Power, and Society in Suriname and Guyana: Hindu, Muslim, and Christian Relations "
English | ISBN: 1032010207 | 2022 | 230 pages | PDF | 12 MB
This book surveys the development of the religious landscape in Suriname and Guyana, focusing on the interaction between Hindus, Muslims, and Christians and responses to Christian dominance. It reflects on how and why these religiously diverse Caribbean societies are characterized by relative harmony, whereas interreligious relationships in other parts of the world have been marked by extreme conflict and violence. The chapters explore ideological and institutional dimensions, including the role of government policies, religious demography, religious leadership, and private religious institutions. The author takes a critical stance towards a negative approach to power struggles and offers a perspective that does not necessarily consider religious diversity a hindrance for religious harmony. Making valuable data accessible to scholars in the English language, this volume provides a framework for the study of interreligious relations and for understanding the religious worlds of the Caribbean.
