Praying for Freedom

Racism and Ignatian Spirituality in America

Herausgeber: Cassidy, Laurie

Beschreibung

"Why do the Spiritual Exercises not change us as deeply as we hope? This is the question that was raised at the general congregation of the Jesuits about Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises and the question the contributors to this book explore and attempt to answer in the context of ongoing racial injustice in the United States. Contributors explore this question by examining how "color-blindness racism" determines our interpretation of the Spiritual Exercises in the United States"--
