Spiritual Formation and the Examen
No full textBibliography: leaves 186-188The purpose of this portfolio was to study how best to lead church congregants in Christian spiritual discernment toward spiritual formation. This portfolio begins with the author’s spiritual autobiography and with that knowledge the model of spiritual formation was developed. The spiritual model can be pictured using an image of a wheel where Christ is placed at the hub (the center) of one’s life and is connected to all the spokes (or parts) of one’s life. The model works to encourage people to move Christ closer to the center of their lives, where they can live and have their being in their “true selves,” as God’s will intends.
Using this model of spiritual formation, a field research project was developed to help spiritually form the spiritual leaders of the Oakridge Presbyterian Church congregation towards a greater unity in Christ. Using the Examen as a spiritual practice helped guide participants to focus and be intentional about noticing God’s presence in all things and therefore helping to keep Christ as the centre of their life. The field research component helped determine how the congregation’s spiritual leaders had deepened their awareness of the presence of God in daily life.Thesis (D.

A Kenotic Reading of Thich Nhat Hanh’s “Please Call Me by My True Names” Through Thomas Merton’s Understanding of Zen.
No full textBibliography: leaves 97-107.This thesis intends to be an interdisciplinary study to integrate missional, spiritual, and theological reflection for a kenotic approach to interreligious dialogue. The thesis begins with attending to the sapiential dimension of Christian theology as the cradle of a kenotic identity from which hospitality for religious others are fostered. On the basis of exploring Thomas Merton’s Sophia Christology, the second part of the thesis turns to examine the influence of Zen on Merton’s view of self and questions related to the comparability between kenosis in Christianity and Sunyata in Buddhism. As a praxis of interreligious dialogue, the last chapter of the thesis offers a comparative reading between Merton’s prose poem “Hagia Sophia” and the poem “Please call me by my true names” by Thich Nhat Hanh. By introducing the Buddhist notion of interbeing, the thesis hopes to show how the interreligious dialogue may contribute to the expression of an authentic self-identity that reflects the concerns of the feminist perspective and is culturally competent in the more collectivistic Asia.Thesis (M.Div.)--Tyndale University, 2021.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected]: The gift of strangers on pilgrimage -- Chapter one: A kenotic Sophia Christology as the theological framework for interreligious dialogue – Chapter two: Zen’s influence on Thomas Merton’s view of self-identity and self-emptying -- Chapter three: Thich Nhat Hanh implores, “Please Call Me by My True Names.” Thomas Merton answers, “Hagia Sophia.” -- Conclusion: The unfinished journey towards the altar in the world

Assessing Christian Learning: Towards a Practices-Based Approach to Faith, Vocation, and Assessment
No full textIncludes bibliographical referencesThis essay proposes that efforts at assessing the contribution of faith-based schools to faith formation be grounded in an account of student vocation framed by Christian practices. We identify gaps in research on assessment of school effectiveness and suggest that a focus on the present vocation of students may fruitfully connect faith and school-based learning practices. On this basis, we describe a framework for viewing assessment through a practices lens by identifying Christian practices that orient learning practices. We also briefly introduce the Practicing Faith Survey, a new tool based on this approach.1-15https://doi.org/10.11177/2056997121997156Accepted manuscrip
