As National Indigenous History Month winds down, is reflecting on an exciting course that broke new ground with its approach and its subject matter....

Fourteen students from TST participated recently in an extraordinary new course that saw Indigenous methods of teaching and learning used by elders and knowledge keepers to share the experiences of Indigenous Christians in Canada.

Indigenous Christianity was offered by the Regis St. Michael's Faculty of Theology in tandem with the Vancouver School of Theology, St. Thomas More College - University of Saskatchewan, Ottawa’s Université Saint-Paul / Saint Paul University, and Concordia University in Montreal. Elders and Knowledge Keepers taught alongside professors from the participating schools, using a storytelling approach and sharing circles to highlight Indigenous theological, spiritual, and ecclesial contributions to Christian life in Canada.

RSM Dean Jaroslav Skira, pictured here with Fr. Jim Loughran, SA, the Director of the Centro Pro Unione in Rome, with RSM students learning about the Catholic Church’s ecumenical and interfaith relations. The class meets in a historic hall where ecumenical observers from the Second Vatican Council would gather and engage the Council’s experts. This is one of four experiential learning opportunities this summer that RSM is offering for its students. More to come also from Nairobi, Manila and our own lovely Toronto.

A wonderful opportunity of the Rome ecumenism class, led by RSM Dean Jaroslav Skira, to visit with Fr. Mark Lewis, SJ (far left), the Rector of Pontifical Gregorian University - and an alumni of Regis College. In the background is a map of ancient Rome, which was brought to life by historical anecdotes from Fr. Lewis.
