Pathways to Healing: People and Communities – Theme Information


By nature, we are questioning, inquiring people. Our ministry of healing places us with people whose life circumstances press them to question themselves, their relationships, their care, and their faith.

Canadian, Thomistic philosopher Bernard Lonergan proposed years ago that, as humans, our fundamental drive to question happens in a basic, universally-true (thus transcendental) way or “pathway”. As a theological framework for our workshops, our speakers, our conversations, and our entire conference, we hope to gain insight through:

  • Being Attentive (affirming through our senses)
  • Being Intelligent (exploring and inquiring)
  • Being Reasonable (reflecting on what we learn to weigh its truth, falsity, and value)
  • Being Responsible (applying what we now know)

These are levels of consciousness that help us be more fully aware of ourselves and how we learn and grow with the ultimate aim to deepen our love and commitment (Being in Love).

To this end, our conference objectives include:

Pathways
As Chaplains and CPE Supervisors we are in a unique position to companion people and communities on the pathways to healing and wholeness.
Our conference will explore these pathways of noticing, inquiring, judging, and deciding/recommitting for love.

People
By nature, we are whole people – body, mind, and spirit. Our ministry of healing involves a holistic understanding and treatment of the people we are and we serve.
Our conference will be attentive to the holistic approaches of our healing ministry.

Communities
As a community, we are social people – interdependent. Our ministry of healing requires a social consciousness and responsiveness.
Our conference will be attentive to the communal and organizational contexts within which our ministry happens.

Resources on Bernard Lonergan, SJ


As we prepare for our NACC National Conference in May of 2011, we encourage our members to begin to acquaint/reacquaint themselves with the work of Bernard Lonergan, SJ, whose transcendental imperatives are used to frame our theme of “Pathways to Healing: People and Communities”. One suggestion is an article “Searching for Bernard Lonergan: The Man Behind ‘Insight’” by Mary Ann Glendon from the October 1, 2007 edition of America Magazine. The article can be found at this link.

In February, the NACC conducted a two part audio conference series, “Bernard Lonergan and Pastoral Care: What Can He Offer Us” presented by Sr. Carla Mae Streeter, OP, Th.D. Materials for both audio sessions are available, by clicking the following links:
(session 1 materials)
(session 2 materials)
