September 2012 Audio Conference
Presented by Carla Mae Streeter, OP, Aquinas Institute of Theology
Program Summary
October 11, 2012 will be the 50th anniversary of the opening of Vatican II. One of the gems of the conciliar documents was the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes. Its opening statement remains a mantra for many ministers: “The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the humans (sic) of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed, nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts.” These two conferences will reintroduce some of the core insights/riches of Gaudium et Spes and offer perspectives on how the chaplaincy/spiritual care ministry participates in the Church’s mission in the world.
