This workshop will examine perspectives on race as heard through sacred music, with attention to historical, cultural, and liturgical contexts. Music-making and music-listening are culturally specific and often politically charged activities. Church documents acknowledge the power of music to nurture faith and enrich the liturgy with the gifts of culture. At the same time, the Church calls music to a standard of universality that moves us toward the goal of Christian unity. In grappling with this paradox, students will be encouraged to cultivate an openness to how music shapes and is shaped by one’s identity. Assignments include critical listening, reading, participant-observation, class discussion, and written response. No previous musical knowledge or skill is required.
The first evening of this seminar will include a concert by the Fisk Jubilee Singers and a panel discussion with the Most Reverend Shelton J. Fabre, Archbishop of Louisville and former chair of the USCCB Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism. Dr. Karen Shadle is a musicologist and Director of the Office of Worship for the Archdiocese of Louisville.
Participants for-credit will participate in additional online components following the workshop.

This is a two and a half day, interactive gathering for spiritual directors to explore their own and their directees’ experience of dreams in the context of spiritual direction.
Dreams are bridges between our personal unconscious and the unconscious. The focus of our gathering will be on familiarizing participants with the psychology of dreaming and with contemporary methods for discerning the religious meaning of one’s dream, in one’s own spiritual growth and development as well as working with dreams in the context of spiritual direction.
Dreams from scripture will serve as starting point. Role plays of working with dreams in the context of spiritual direction will be incorporated into the sessions.
