Educators Seminar

This is a seminar-style course built from the ground up for teachers and catechists. It is designed for groups of teachers at schools or parishes that meet at a pre-set basis (recommended every 1-4 weeks depending upon your groups availability, preferences, and circumstances).

Process:

  • Principals, facilitators, or group leaders signs up for a user account, and they coordinate times for their group to meet.
  • Groups come together, begin with a prayer, and together watch the provided videos, and discuss its content at the designated prompts.
  • Facilitators track the conversation, so they can conclude the meeting with a general overview of what was discussed.
  • Participants may sign up for their own account in order to have access to the resources and see suggested readings/assignment.
  • Participants apply what the’ve learned, discussed, and discerned to the circumstances of their life and apostolate.
  • Upon meeting again, after the prayer, facilitators review what was discussed previously, and open the floor to discuss anything that further thoughts or experiences relating to the material from last time, its application to their apostolic/ministerial activities, or further questions that may have cropped up since the previous gathering.
  • Then the next session’s video is watched together, and the process is repeated until the seminar is complete.

Charism Discernment I

Welcome to this workshop on charism discernment. Two questions that need to be addressed before fully launching into the material are “what is a charism?” and “what is discernment?” The first few video segments will be devoted to these topics as a primer for discussion. The remaining lessons detail each charism themselves.

This workshop is meant to serve as a resource that enables you to begin discerning the specific ways in which the Holy Spirit has been working and continues to work through you and through others. It is necessary to undertake a process of discernment in common with others who are likewise working through the material, or who already know it well.

In addition to taking notes like you would for a regular course, it is strongly recommended that you journal as you learn about each charism. Your entries need not be lengthy or formal. Bullet-points may suffice if preferred. Discernment, however, requires tracking real evidence, and journaling will most effectively help you pay attention to the sorts of signs that indicate a particular charism. Although entries need not be lengthy, they should be specific. For example, include things like describing the subjective, objective, or communal sign, naming the person or people whom the charism was for. The purpose of the journal entries is for your own discernment. It will help you recall the specifics of the situation when recounting this in the group or one-on-one part of the discernment.

The purpose of charism discernment is to begin to recognize the specific gifts you (and others) have been given, in baptism, for the restoration and healing of others. The charisms empower us truly to participate in the mission of our Lord. Once you begin to notice the patterns of their presence in your own life, that recognition can help you see more clearly where you might be called, freely and joyfully, to focus your attention, energy, and work in the saving mission of our Lord.

Science and Arts

Introduction

Welcome to your course in Science and the Arts. To consider how the lay vocation might play out specifically in these two sectors, we will confront various issues that have caused contention throughout history. At root of such conflicts is the relationship between theology and science, or more broadly, faith and reason. Are these two domains compatible? If so, then why has their relationship caused seemingly intractable disputes repeatedly throughout the ages?

Two instructors will lead us through this course, each covering his respective half. Guiding us through questions of science and theology will be Fr. Michael Dodds, OP, Professor of Philosophy and Theology at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley, CA. Dana Gioia, in turn, poet laureate of California and former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, will round out the course with reflection on the nature of the arts in relation to theology.

Reading

Throughout this Lesson, you will need access to the following resources:

  • The Bible
  • St. Pope John Paul II, Fides et Ratio (1998)
