Program Description

What does the Ignatian tradition have to offer those from different religious backgrounds and traditions?  This lecture explores the question of why and how Ignatian prayer, meditation, and contemplation should be shared with members of other religions.  Giving close attention to the specific challenges involved in giving the Spiritual Exercises to those from non-Abrahamic traditions, including Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, Prof. Erin Cline of Georgetown University takes up the challenge of sharing the gifts of the Spiritual Exercises even with those who are not theists.
