introduction a selection MARIST NOTEBOOKS OCTOBER 2009 Institute of the Marist Brothers

Gilles Beauregard Br. Francisco Castellanos Br. Edward Clisby Br. Aloisio Kuhn Br. A wide range of research topics was explored, and some very interesting papers were written as a result. In this issue of Marist Notebooks, readers have an opportunity to read of some of this research. Contact details for each author are also provided, if readers wish to find out more about any of the IRPs. Nineteen Brothers completed the programme.

It was not a formation or renewal course, but an academic programme that required post-graduate level study and research. During the five months, under the guidance of the Academic Director, Brother Aureliano Brambila de la Mora, each of the participants followed a series of lectures, presented two short papers, and undertook a piece of personal research.

At the end of the course, each Brother led a seminar on his IRP, and submitted a research paper. Most of these papers were quite detailed and lengthy, most of them between 20, and 30, words, some considerably longer.

They are now kept in the General Archives and are also available on-line see below. In this edition, it is not possible to print the entire version of any of the IRPs. Of the nineteen IRPs, we have space to provide an abridged version of nine. The full versions of all the IRPs, however, are accessible on the champagnat. Enter the Reserved Section, and open Patrimony [Where the article is not by a native English-speaker, the text here 3. Some Brothers chose to focus on the time of Father Champagnat and the first Brothers, many opted to investigate an aspect of the history of their own Province or region, and some others applied intuitions that they gleaned from historical sources to the present-day realities of Marist spirituality and mission.

Put together, they form a major contribution to the patrimony of the Institute. Here is a brief description of each research project, the name and the Province of its author, and contact details for him: 1. Marcellin is shown to possess well-developed self-awareness competencies, self-management competencies, social awareness competencies, and relationship competencies.

Brother Godfrey E. Perera, Province of South Asia English; 67 pages Through a consideration of 13 letters of Father Champagnat and 3 of his Circulars, a portrait is painted of the Founder as an expert counsellor and spiritual guide. Particular attributes of Marcellin are identified, including his ability to forgive and to reconcile, his love and affection, his concern for the sick, his empathy and understanding, his empowering of the Brothers, and his sense of humour.

Also discussed are his genuineness and his adeptness in reading and dealing with the feelings of his subjects. His spiritual insights and depth are revealed. The distinguishing characteristics of his spiritual guidance are proposed as submission to the will of God, good example, trust in Divine Providence, spiritual encouragement, assurance of prayers, humility, charity, presence of God, and closeness to Mary. A thematic analysis is made of the documents.

It is concluded that the relationship is a an essentially healthy and functional one marked by mutual trust, concern, individuality, openness, shared responsibility , b multi-faceted and multi-layered, c that it evolved and matured over time, and d that it was life-giving for both men.

A major part of this IRP was the translation from French into German of 27 documents letters and reports held in the General Archives that related to foundation and development of the German Brothers.

The period under examination is the time from the General Chapter to the General Chapter. This period is proposed as The Transformative Period. The scriptural narrative in which the period is hidden is proposed as the Jewish people s experience of the Babylonian Captivity. By reading its own story in the light of this experience of the Old Testament Jewish people, the Institute can deepen its understanding of the place and action of God in its own identity-formation narrative and by attempting to discover what can be read from the scriptural event, it can continue to deepen its call and possibility as the chosen people of God.

Brother Anaclet lived from to , joining the Marist Brothers as a teacher, just 11 years after the first Canadian Brothers arrived. He subsequently held significant posts in his District, including those of headmaster, vocations recruiter, and master of novices. His impact on students, on Brothers, and indeed on the author himself was immense. Several phases are proposed: a the traditional approach that was followed from until ; b the vacuum of vocations after Council and the events of in Paris, and the mix of motivations that led some French Brothers to the country, lasting until the mid s; c the attempt at recovery from until ; d the various attempts at new houses of initial formation, until ; and e the situation since re-structuring in the new Province of East Central Africa.

Hope is expressed for the future. Baptised as a 13 yearold, he completed school and teachers training before joining the local Congregation of St Peter Claver. By the time of his profession, this group had been absorbed into the Marist Brothers.

Brother John distinguished himself as an outstanding teacher and religious. He served the Marist Province of Nigeria as a vocations promoter and formator; he also fostered lay Marists in their vocation. Brother John s life was an epitome of simplicity, humility, modesty and love.

The story of the establishment and development of each of the Marist foundations in the country is related, along with a description of the spiritual and pedagogical characteristics of the Brothers mission.

A consideration is made of the difficulties and challenges that have been faced by the Brothers, including climate, sickness, adjustments in the post-colonial period, the nationalisation of all schools, political and tribal conflicts, financial decline, inadequate resourcing of schools, low numbers of vocations, and poor quality of teaching. Some suggestions for the future are proposed, including recommendations regarding specific institutions, and more general proposals for just payment of teachers and increased involvement of educated laity in the mission of the Church and the Province.

Reasons for the eventual abandonment of the trial merger are proposed, and some conclusions drawn for modern day realities in the Institute, especially that of re-structuring.

Of importance is the need to respect each other s cultures and to make accommodations for this in formation and in community living, to learn each other s languages, to regard each other as equals, and to ensure there is genuine merging, not simply amalgamating.

Many original documents are used translated from Korean or Spanish into English. The growth of the District is described, the inculturation of Marist life in Korean culture, the various changes in approaches to formation, the decisions about apostolic focus, and the eventual withdrawal of the foreign Brothers. Some critical reflection is offered on the present situation and future directions, including vocations and formation, apostolic options, and the challenges of internationality for the Korean Brothers 9.

The documents and events around the two decisions to establish in The Philippines are presented, before a survey of the history of each of the foundations since and the individual Brothers, especially from the USA, who played key roles in these developments. The last part of the paper discusses the sensitivities around the Filipino Brothers claim to their own identity and autonomy, and some of the challenges and priorities of the Brothers in The Philippines today, including apostolic priorities, vocations, and restructuring.

It is a small but unique episode of the Institute s history. The conclusions are brought to bear on current options for mission in the Province of New Zealand. Some emerging needs of young people in Nigeria are also identified, and are proposed as possible future foci for the mission of the Province. Brother Herman Boyek, District of Melanesia. English; 81 pages Some definitions of spirituality are followed by a description of the characteristic elements of modern Marist spirituality and traditional Melanesian spirituality.

A survey of the current state of the District of Melanesia precedes a critical consideration of how Marist and Melanesians spiritualities mesh, as there has been interplay between Marists and Melanesians since the s.

Concepts that sit uneasily in the Melanesian mind included the vowed celibate life, a focus on heaven and eternity rather than the present, private prayer and reconciliation, accumulation of possessions. Easier alignment between European Christianity and traditional Melanesian spirituality is found in things such belief in an all-powerful God, the abiding presence of God, the communion of saints, the efficacy of using symbols and rituals, the importance of story, serving the common good, and a sense of the kingdom of God present here and now.

This experience could be offered at the refurbished l Hermitage. Marcellin s way is proposed as a pedagogy of initiation for today s youth, to assist them in integrating their human and spiritual growth. This will be a mission undertaken by Brothers and lay people together. Two particular issues for that country are considered: the pressing needs of the present time; and the reasons for the non-perseverance of many local Ivorian Brothers.

It is proposed that the District may need to re-consider its apostolic focus and priorities if it is to address these issues. Intelligence is not merely book learning or some narrow academic skill. Rather, intelligence seems to reflect a broader and deeper capability for comprehending one s surroundings - catching on, making sense of things, or figuring out what to do. Marcellin Champagnat, by his own account, was clearly not an intellectual master as defined by academic performance or formal education.

We must remember that formal education in the rural areas of France in the years after the Revolution of barely existed. In , when two diocesan representatives arrived in Marlhes looking for candidates for the seminary, Marcellin was fourteen years old and almost illiterate.

Before he would be able 1 Linda S. Gottfredson, guest editor. Foreword to Intelligence and Social Policy. Even his father, Jean Baptiste, believed this educational obstacle would be hard to overcome for Marcellin. Yet, his mind was made up from that moment on, he thought only of becoming a priest. Champagnat that Marcellin has too few talents to succeed and did not show much capacity for formal learning.

He was sixteen years old, big, uncomfortable with formal written and spoken French, and not the most academically intelligent in the class. For Marcellin, it was back to what we might today call the beginners class.

At the end of the year, his results were so poor that he was advised not to return to the seminary. Nevertheless, he would eventually spend long years of seminary study and overcome many obstacles in order to become a priest. His fellow seminarians all agreed that he possessed neither the talents nor the necessary resources to attempt, with any hope of success, the foundation of a congregation. Maitrepierre OM Coste, J.

An unassuming affability, a straight-forwardness and impression of kindness radiated from his face, gaining all hearts and disposing minds to accept without difficulty and even with pleasure, his opinions, his instructions, and his reproofs. Psychologists and educators sensed that true intelligence reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending one s surroundings and behaving accordingly.

One such theorist, Harvard professor Howard Gardner, determined that IQ Intelligence Quotient , as a singular measure of competence, could not be supported. In his book, Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligence, Gardner proposed a range of key competencies, which he calls multiple intelligence. For over twenty years, Howard Gardner has been preaching the idea that human intelligence is not a single trait.

According to Gardner, humans have seven or eight distinct intelligences, or primary dimensions of competence. While Gardner uses rather scientific sounding labels for his categories verbal-logical, mathematicalsymbolic, spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal and musical Karl Albrecht, in his book Social Intelligence, re-coded and simplified them conceptually.

Accurate Self-Assessment. Self-Confidence Emotional Self-Control. Organizational Awareness. Building Bonds. Teamwork and Collaboration. With these theories as a foundation, Albrecht constructed a model for describing, assessing and developing social intelligence. He characterized social intelligence as a combination of a basic understanding of oneself and of people - a kind of strategic social awareness - and a set of skills for interacting successfully with them.
