Often when we retire, we finally find time to explore who we are, whose we are, and our meaning and purpose. Believers can choose from multiple paths, but in this four-week course, we will explore spiritualities based on the Franciscans, Jesuits, and Augustinians (Pope Leo's religious order), studying their founders, key teachings, and practices. In addition, we'll consider more modern examples of these paths as advanced by 20th- and 21st-century Jesuits, Franciscans, and Augustinians, including, among others, Richard Rohr, OFM, and Teilhard de Chardin, SJ. Learners of all faiths are welcome.

Moderator: Carol Carlin is a lifetime learner and teacher, graduate of the Athenaeum of Ohio, former consultant with the Catholic Leadership Institute, with many years of experience in parish ministry and leading and facilitating small groups. She relishes the opportunity to explore her favorite topic with adults of all faiths.
