Product Description
Immersion A Pilgrimage into Service is a resource for those discerning or undergoing an immersive service experience or postgraduate volunteer service program. It utilizes recent Catholic social thought Scripture an Ignatian paradigm of servicereflection and Christian spirituality. This book helps readers to identify and navigate their innermost call to service by providing tools for reflection and discernment. It also challenges harmful attitudes that can reinforce unhealthy uses of privilege and power and perpetuate historically deleterious impacts on host communities through cultural and racial hegemony. A book which invites reflection on the motives potential pitfalls and outcomes of immersion and service programs is timely as the United States grapples with the fallout from the COVID19 pandemic and a greater sense of the need for racial justice. Despite the vast resources used to sustain immersion and postgraduate volunteer programs there are few resources to guide students their parents team leaders discerning postgraduate volunteer participants and program directors through the personal social and spiritual transformation that is sparked by these experiences. Immersion A Pilgrimage into Service fills that void. show more
