Ignatian Family Teach-In
8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. PDT via zoom
The Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, or IFTJ, is an annual gathering for members of the Ignatian family (those affiliated with both Jesuit institutions and the larger Catholic Church) to gather in the context of social justice and solidarity to learn, reflect, pray, network, and advocate together. It is a place where people are empowered, re-energized, inspired, challenged, and supported by a community that sees faith and justice integrally linked.
Now in its 24th year, IFTJ has a rich history rooted in honoring the Jesuits and their companions who were martyred in El Salvador in 1989.

Book Release Party with Dr. Kathryn Barush
Noon - 1:00 p.m. PDT via zoom
Join CARe in celebrating the release of Dr. Kathryn Barush's newly published book, Imaging Pilgrimage: Art as Embodied Experience. While place-based pilgrimage is an embodied practice, can it be experienced in its fullness through built environments, assemblages of souvenirs, and music? Imaging Pilgrimage explores contemporary art that is created after a pilgrimage and intended to act as a catalyst for the embodied experience of others. Each chapter focuses on a contemporary artwork that links one landscape to another-from the Spanish Camino to a backyard in the Pacific Northwest, from Lourdes to South Africa, from Jerusalem to England, and from Ecuador to California.

Oxford Book Talk with Pablo J. Boczkowski
2:00-3:00 p.m. PDT via zoom
Professor Boczkowski will discuss his new book “Abundance: On the Experience of Living in a World of Information Plenty.” Drawing on extensive fieldwork and survey research conducted in Argentina, Abundance examines the role of cultural and structural factors that mediate between the availability of information and the actual consequences for individuals, media, politics, and society. Providing the first book-length account of information abundance in the Global South, Boczkowski concludes that the experience of information abundance is tied to an overall unsettling of society, a reconstitution of how we understand and perform our relationships with others, and a twin depreciation of facts and appreciation of fictions.

FASPE Seminary Fellowships in Professional Ethics
FASPE is an intensive, two-week study program in professional ethics and ethical leadership. FASPE is neither a Holocaust studies course, nor a genocide prevention program. Rather, the curriculum is designed to challenge Fellows to critically examine constructs, current developments and issues that raise ethical concerns in their professions in contemporary settings in which they work.
The Fellowship is fully funded for between 12 and 16 applicants. FASPE Seminary applicants must either be enrolled in graduate school preparing for work as a religious leader at the time of application or they must be working as clergy with a relevant graduate degree received between May 2020 and January 2022. Those applying as students may be studying at a seminary, divinity school, rabbinical school, Muslim chaplaincy program or other graduate program related to religious OR theological training.
More information is available at this link. If you would like further information about FASPE or its programs, please visit the website www.faspe-ethics.org. Additionally, FASPE will host a virtual information session on October 26, 2021 at 9 a.m. PST. Potential applicants can register here.
Call for Book Proposals for book series, Phenomenologies of Religious Experience
This series invites proposals in classical phenomenology, French phenomenology, pre- and post-phenomenologies, and in methodologies that bridge phenomenology and analytic philosophy. In accord with Husserl’s original intent, the series welcomes attempts to locate spiritual or religious experience within a broader theory of the sciences (Wissenschaftslehre) and to expand phenomenology towards transcendental philosophy and metaphysics.
The series is published in cooperation with the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience, www.sophere.org.
