The First Annual Summer Institute GOD’S UNFINISHED STORY
July 10-11, 2009 in LaGrange Park, Illinois
“Living Beyond the End of the World: A Spirituality of Hope.”
The end of the world as we know it is upon us. In this keynote presentation, author Margaret Swedish will suggest a spirituality, or way of life, to deal with this reality and to reinvent our presence on earth.
“ Prayer in a New Story of the Universe”
Keynote presenter Michael Morwood will examine how we pray when the focus shifts from an elsewhere listening deity to "God" as a myserious everywhere Presence. Is prayer for God's sake? What is the purpose of prayer? What are some of the implications of this shift for ritual and liturgical prayer?
“God’s Unfinished Story”
Author and keynote speaker Margaret Silf will reflect on the meaning of the events of 2000 years ago in the context of a universe story that is almost 15 billions year old? What is the pivotal nature of the Incarnation in our cosmic story? How did we become homo spaines, where might we be going, and how do our choices and decisions affect that unfolding story?
Break-Out Groups:
Art as a response to the message - Mary Southard, CSJ
Thomas Berry and his teachings - John Surette, SJ
Interactive discussion - Kathy Sherman, CSJ and Bridget Sperduto
Period of Reflection – chapel, labyrinth, outdoors available for prayer

To realize our deepest longing, we need to learn to use the knowledge and capacities of the mind consciously and carefully. This seminar is all about not getting limited by the logical, rational approach of the mind. When continuing to be in touch with inner silence and the heart, finding fulfillment becomes possible, loving life becomes possible.
