RS 577 Overview

This course addresses the Franciscan value of "creating a caring community" through servant leadership in the Franciscan tradition. The lives of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi provide the foundation from which the tradition has expressed its commitment to creating a caring community. The practical and discussion-oriented format of the seminar integrates ideas drawn from Franciscan theology and spirituality with opportunities for observing and modeling a caring community relevant to a variety of venues, e.g., parish, school, social justice organizations. Resources for creating a caring community are presented, along with the opportunity for practical experiences.
