Sustaining a Spirituality of Service
Sustaining a Spirituality of Service
Colleen Vermeulen, our summer intern and Master’s of Divinity student at Notre Dame gave a presentation on Sustaining A spirituality of Service. Based on her experiences with Bridges she developed a presentation which will helped us explore a Christian response to poverty.
Colleen’s says,“Ending poverty is no simple task. We know it takes a variety of approaches, from providing direct care to alleviate suffering, to educating and intervening to prevent poverty; from reforming unjust practices and policies to facilitating transition and mentoring individuals moving out of poverty. How do we, as Christians, bring our faith tradition to all of these approaches? We will explore why there is more than just one “Christian” way to help the poor and examine aspects of our tradition that can inspire and sustain our diverse, yet interconnected efforts.”
We look forward to sharing short video clips of the presentation with you…
Thank You!
We want to offer a big thanks to everyone who came out for our November Meeting. We had a record high number of approximately 170 attendees. Phil DeVol was thrilled to come to South Bend and see how successful our graduates have been. We will send you a more in depth summary of November’s meeting in the near future.
