July 21 Webinar: Ignatian Spirituality and the University

  • INCHE 2041 Raybrook Avenue Southeast Grand Rapids, MI, 49546 United States (map)

What does our spiritual life have to do with our academic life? Should they be separate or can they be brought together holistically?

On Thursday, 21 July 2022 at 1400 UTC, INCHE in partnership with the Society of Christian Scholars is pleased to learn from Dr. Nita Kotiuga, Director of Spiritual Formation at Bakke Graduate University. She observes that academic life often neglects and hinders spiritual formation, because the whole idea is dismissed by atheistic cultures, diminished by secular cultures, or exaggerated by spiritualist cultures. At the root of the problem are conceptions of the relationship between the mind, body, and soul.

In this webinar, Dr. Kotiuga will explore how to nurture the spiritual and the life of the mind. As a trained spiritual director in Ignatian spirituality, she will discuss how academics can embrace the spiritual life by placing their minds under the direction of the Holy Spirit so that they can fully function as God intended, following the Holy Spirit into all truth.
