This Unit serves as a forum for scholars working in the interdisciplinary field of Christian spirituality. It is committed to the following:
• Developing, refining, and demonstrating appropriate methodologies for the academic study of spirituality.
• Exploring models for describing and facilitating interdisciplinary conversation on the nature of spirituality among religion scholars of all perspectives and religions.
• Initiating discussion in the field of global spirituality, both religious and secular.
• Articulating the connections between scholarship and spiritual practice.
• Ensuring diversity in denominational affiliation, gender, race, and ethnic backgrounds.
The Christian Spirituality Program Unit is seeking proposals for papers on the following topics:
● Panel on Introducing Contemplative Studies by Louis Komjathy, for a possible co-sponsored session with the Contemplative Studies Program Unit
● Spirituality of pilgrimage
● Christian spirituality, borders, and bridges: refugee and immigration issues
● Interdisciplinary conversations: spirituality and the social science
● A spirituality of liberation (e.g., 50 years after the conference of bishops in Medellin and 30 years after the murder of Jesuits in El Salvador)
● Spirituality and water: ecological and sacramental perspectives
