The Triadic Insight

Video from 2020 Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice. A related book excerpt is attached (PDF 5p). We strengthen our spirituality for the faith-justice journey by the grace of ORGANIZING all at once: 1. COMMUNITY (small, networked) 2. SPIRITUALITY (deepening, in sustained formation, JustFaith, etc.) 3. SYSTEMIC action & reflection. Triadic, Ignatian, social spirituality, to “go set the world on fire.”

Developing “Public Narratives” to engage others

At Bellarmine Chapel (Cincinnati), JustFaith “graduates” have prepared and shared “Public Narratives” (short talks, PNs can become e.g,. pulpit announcements and “graced history” reflections). Public Narratives are developed by leader-organizers to engage others (see introductory video (0:12:13, link) by Marshall Ganz and attached PN development workshop handouts from the Episcopal Diocese of California).
