This reading group will focus on Ressourcement theology and how it can change our understanding of the world and our own way of life. Ressourcement means returning to the original, authoritative sources of Christianity and bringing them to bear on our own times.
We’ll meet monthly on the third Saturday of every month on Zoom to discuss a book, article, or other selection, and once per quarter, we will discuss the latest issue of Communio: International Catholic Review, focusing on one or two articles. This group is Catholic-weighted but not exclusively so because Ressourcement theology is of great interest to many Protestants and people of other faiths. Our sessions will meet for approximately two hours, starting at 4 p.m. US CT. We will record for those who have to miss a meeting.
You can sign up for this group by becoming a member of our Salt of the Earth tier on Patreon. Zoom links and other reading materials for the group will be posted on Patreon. Catholic Workers, please email us at maurinacademy@gmail.com.
Currently:
Our group is currently reading Hans Urs Von Balthasar’s Mysterium Paschale.
As an example of the kind of reading we do, our first book was Heart of the World, Center of the Church: Communio Ecclesiology, Liberalism, and Liberation by David L. Schindler, Eeerdmans Publishing Co., 1996.
We’ve also read and discussed Mary Taylor’s, “Ecology on One’s Knees: Reading Laudato Si” Communio Article in the Winter 2015 Integral Ecology Issue. https://www.communio-icr.com/articles/view/ecology-on-ones-knees-reading-laudato-si
