  • Academic Faculty Address-2017
    A Ressourcement Vision for Graduate Theological Education Academic Faculty Address-2017 Thomas A. Baima Mundelein Seminary August 11, 2017 I want to welcome everyone to the first of our Academic Faculty meetings for the 2017- 2018 school year. I hope all of you had a refreshing summer. This meeting is the result of comments by some of you that the academic department did not have the same opportunity as the formation department for planning and interaction. It is for this reason that I added this morning to the meetings at the opening of the school year. We do need time to work together as a group on the common project of seminary education. Those of you who are more senior will remember that we used to meet for two full days at the opening of the school year and again at the opening of the beginning of the new year. Without those meetings, we have lost much of the time we used to work together. So, I hope this morning will restore some of that, and at the same time not wear everyone out. Here is my plan for the morning. First, I’m going to do some introductions of our new members. Next, I want to offer some remarks about the vision of higher education. I do this because the academic department is entrusted with the responsibility for the intellectual pillars and shares responsibility for the pastoral pillar 1 with Formation. As such, we are part of the larger higher education enterprise both of this country and of the Catholic Church internationally.
