Clear Communication and the Necessity of Evangelism
Do we really want to be heard? Or is Church just a table for our friends?
Children Formed in the Patterns of Prayer
At the center of every educational debate stands a mystery: the eternity-haunted, God-imaged soul of a child. What need not remain inaccessible is how to shape that soul for what is True, Good, and Beautiful.
Schools for the Imagination
Many ordinands haven’t had their imagination informed deeply by Scripture or by long experience in the Church. Our parishes and theological schools have not responded to this reality.

Back to the future
We need to rediscover and to revive the vocation of the seminary at precisely the moment of its greatest risk.
Leadership transformed, and transforming
The Church, the gathered people of God, is where lives are transformed. As we encounter the power of the Spirit through word and sacrament, we are changed.
