Christian Sanctity: Integration of Dogma, Spirituality and Life

This course is an integration of theology and life in prayers, asceticism and work, which give deeper meaning to one’s understanding and practice of spirituality relevant to contemporary times and the Philippine and Asian situation. This course is about the spirituality of Henri Nouwen set against the background theme of spiritual journey. The main focus will be threefold: Nouwen’s integrated journey, his tensional and imperfect spirituality, and his integrated ministry. First, the course provides a synthesis of Nouwen’s holistic approach to the nature of the inward, outward, and upward spiritual journey — one that integrates spirituality, psychology, ministry, and theology together in a seamless fashion. Second, it is an exploration of Nouwen’s spirituality of imperfection which he embodied throughout his lived experience — where the journey toward perfection is through the realities of tension and imperfection. Finally, it is an overview of Nouwen’s well-integrated ministry of soul care based upon his integrated yet imperfect spirituality.
