Founders' Forum - Ignatius and Islam: Uncovering Interfaith Intersections
The Founders’ Forum is an annual Mission Week event that explores our Jesuit and Ignatian roots in conversation with contemporary issues and subjects. This year's gathering will focus on St. Ignatius' enduring fascination with Muslims and the meaningful and timely parallels that can be drawn between Islam and Christianity. Father Steve Spahn, S.J., of the Jesuit community and Theology Department will sketch what we know historically of Ignatius’s desire to minister among Muslims.  Dr. Jordan Denari Duffner, scholar of Muslim-Christian relations, interreligious dialogue, and Islamophobia, will highlight fascinating intersections between Ignatian and Islamic spirituality. Register for this event using this Bridge link.
4:30 p.m. Pre-Lecture Reception

This annual Mission Week retreat will afford members of the Loyola community an opportunity to spend a morning in conversation and reflection around some foundational themes from our Jesuit heritage. Sue Cesare and Frs. Tim Brown and Steve Spahn will direct the morning’s prayer, activities, and conversation. No prior experience or familiarity with St. Ignatius and the Jesuit tradition is required. All are welcome! 

Employees may be eligible to use their mission leave benefits for work hours spent on retreat. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Employees can register here.

 

This lecture examines the complex historical legacy of Jesuit slaveholding in Maryland and how specific geographical and cultural landscapes connected to the enslaved carry forward traces of this violent past. By centering the land itself as both witness and participant in these histories, our panelists reveal how physical spaces can inform contemporary discussions about institutional accountability and the ongoing relationship between Jesuit institutions and the communities whose ancestors were enslaved by them.

A reception and opening of the exhibit Reckoning and Renewal: Confronting Slavery and Its Legacies at Loyola University Maryland will follow in the Loyola Notre Dame Library Gallery. Funding for this event provided in part by the MD Two Fifty Commission. Register here for the lecture and reception.
