Nurturing Spirituality with Faculty and Staff: A Vision Paper for Administrators, Campus Ministers, Faculty, and Staff

The adults in our schools need nurturing, too--not just the students. There is great need among faculty and staff for affirmation, healing, encouragement, support, and celebration. Some of those needs can be met through programs and services, others by extending ourselves personally to those with whom we work. This vision paper offers ideas for nurturing the spirits of the faculty and staff, and includes reflection questions, a survey on staff spiritual enrichment, and a bibliography. This monograph was written using insights from teachers and campus ministers from Catholic schools around the country after several three-day workshops titled "The Catholic High School as Faith Community," and more recently, workshops titled "Nurturing Spirituality with Faculty and Staff," sponsored by Saint Mary's Press. Saint Mary's Press grants permission to photocopy this vision paper for use with the faculty and staff in your school, or you may purchase multiple copies for $3.00 each.Claussen, Janet is the author of 'Nurturing Spirituality with Faculty and Staff: A Vision Paper for Administrators, Campus Ministers, Faculty, and Staff', published 2000 under ISBN 9780884896388 and ISBN 0884896382.
