Introduction
This year's Institute--co-sponsored by the Loyola Institute for Ministry, the Office of Catholic Schools, and the Office of Religious Education of the Archdiocese of New Orleans--focuses on spiritual leadership. To be a leader in Catholic education/formation is to be a spiritual leader. Yet, God doesn't call the qualified but, instead, qualifies the called. And so, spiritual leadership is a process, a journey. We'll address questions like, How can spiritual leaders:
- Cultivate spiritual leadership in themselves?
- Be on the lookout for grace, even in unlikely people and places?
- Foster gifts in others?
- Build faith community among various stakeholders?
