The Franciscan Way offers a unique window into Franciscan thought and practice. St. Francis of Assisi, an icon of gentleness and compassion, is also a radical prophet who challenges people of many faiths. His path closely adheres to Jesus’ way of simplicity, justice, and inclusivity through a counter-cultural movement — an “alternative orthodoxy” that values vulnerability and union over power and independence.
Step outside your comfortable ideas and habits and get a unique window into Franciscan thought and practice. Move into new experiences of God, self, and others. Dive into the ocean of God’s love that knows no boundaries or limitations.
In this online course on St. Francis, students will learn about the history, persons, and themes of the Franciscan Way, including the Alternative Orthodoxy, Univocity of Being, and the Great Chain of Being. Students will also develop contemplative practices to support freedom from the dominant ego self.
