With an Introduction by Peter McVerry SJ Why might this man be
declared a saint? Pedro Arrupe, twenty-eighth Superior General of
the Society of Jesus, re-founded the Jesuits and re-cast Ignatian
spirituality for our times. He was a prisoner of Imperial Japan, a
first responder when the atom bomb fell on Hiroshima, a pioneer of
Catholic social justice and a founder of the Jesuit Refugee
Service. His mind and heart were shaped by the Second Vatican
Council. Few people-outside religious life-know his story. But now
that the process for his beatification is underway, he will become
known across the Catholic world and beyond. Best-selling author
Brian Grogan SJ, whose life has been deeply influenced by Arrupe,
has written Pedro Arrupe SJ: Mystic With Open Eyes. With a foreword
by Peter McVerry SJ, this booklet is a guide to the extraordinary
life of a great-souled human being. Arrupe belongs to the world
because he had a profound love for everyone, especially the
neediest. This succinct account of his life, 1907-1991, highlights
his dynamic influence on the Church of today as it labours to build
a civilisation of justice and love.
Today's organizational environment is characterized by high levels
of cross-cultural, cross-national, and cross-religious
communication, conflict, collaboration, and commerce. This
environment produces myriad encounters between individuals who
embrace different ideologies, religions and spiritual practices. As
such, unanswered (and even unasked) questions about management,
spirituality, and religion abound. This book, seeks to advance our
understanding by asking the big questions. Blessed are Those Who
Ask the Questions: What Should We be Asking About Management,
Spirituality, and Religion in Organizations? is intended to be
provocative in nature. Its chapters address novel ways that
leadership, organizations, and organizational stakeholders mutually
impact each other by their similarities and differences in
religious, spiritual, and ideological traditions, cultures, and
practices. Interdisciplinary in nature and firmly grounded in
scholarly literature, this book identifies and maps out bold new
trajectories for advancing the study of management spirituality,
and religion (including but going far beyond Western, Christian
conceptualizations of religion). Sometimes universal, sometimes
quite specific, this volume identifies unexplored, underexplored,
or unresolved issues in the field and proposes new streams of
research. Diverse conceptual, empirical, theoretical, and critical
treatments that honor a variety of inquiry styles and research
methods push the boundaries of MSR research.
