Reading and Reflection Group: The Spiritual Work of Racial Justice
Fridays, Oct. 15, Oct. 29, Nov. 19 and Dec. 3
11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Via Zoom
Please join the Center for Jesuit Education for a reading group utilizing The Spiritual Work of Racial Justice: A Month of Meditations with Ignatius of Loyola by Patrick Saint-Jean, S.J. (Anamchara Books, 2021). You are invited to discuss the book and deepen our commitment to racial justice through an engagement with the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. Participants will work independently through the meditations and reflections and the group will share the fruits of those meditations when they gather.
No experience with the Spiritual Exercises required!
Faculty and staff of all racial and ethnic backgrounds are invited to join the reading group. Depending on interest, participants will break into smaller affinity groups at times within the larger group gatherings. Please include in your RSVP whether you would prefer to be in a potential smaller reflection group with people colleagues who identify as: 1) white; 2) people of color; or 3) white and people of color.
Space is limited; RSVP by Tuesday, Oct. 5, to centerforjesuiteducation@seattleu.edu. If you are unable to pick up your book on campus, please include your mailing address so we can ship the book to you.
