Archive Exhibit: The Samurai and the Cross: Life and Death in Christian Japan, 1549-1650
Curated by Prof. M. Antoni J. Ucerler, S.J., Director of the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History, this exhibit explores the reality of Jesuit missionaries in Japan in the late 16th and early 17th centuries through use of Japanese texts, European rare books, paintings, and other written and visual media. Many of these missionaries were martyred by Japanese authorities and went on to develop mythical proportions in Jesuit rhetoric.
The gallery space is on the third floor of the Learning Commons and Library, next to the Archives & Special Collections Reading Room. Exhibit hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday - Friday when the learning commons is open and by appointment. On display from September 20 through December 10.

Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice
Women Engaging the Catholic Social Tradition
JST MDiv student Elise Dubravec is working with the Lane Center for Catholic Social Thought at USF on the Women Engaging the Catholic Social Tradition initiative, begun by a group of scholars who recognize how women-identified persons have shaped the Catholic social tradition (CST) in thought and action even as their experiences and voices are marginalized in Catholic social teaching. It further hopes to transform CST in light of women’s lived experiences and struggles for justice.
In the months ahead, the Lane Center seeks to advance this vision to include Catholic women from all identities, ministries, and vocations. On the form, you can give consent to having your reflection shared on the website and social media. They want to hear your voice and welcome you to share your reflection to the following question:
In what ways does CST reflect or fail to reflect your joys and hopes, griefs and anxieties?Reflection responses can be submitted HERE.

Held on several Sundays, September 12 - December 5, 11:30 PT via zoom.

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; and we will be awarding the 2022 FASPE Seminary Fellowship to 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 available at this link. If you would like further information about FASPE or its programs, please visit our website www.faspe-ethics.org. Additionally, we will be hosting a virtual information session on October 26, 2021 at 12pm EST. Potential applicants can register here.
