To "tune the rig" describes adjusting a ship's rigging; the rig of
a well-tuned boat allows the sails to function well. This task must
be performed to ensure the best performance by the ship. Tuning the
Rig takes that metaphor as a guide for Catholic educators and
administrators, as well as for the larger church. It argues from a
variety of perspectives rooted in the Catholic imagination that the
rig constantly needs to be re-tuned to balance between visions of
the church as teacher and learner. Why should this matter to
Catholic educators? To Herron, our understanding of the church as
learner is at the heart of our understanding of ourselves as
disciples. One of the logical consequences of this era of baptismal
consciousness is a rising awareness on the part of the laity that
their task is not simply to "pay, pray, and obey" but to grow and
journey in faith. Herron's focus ranges from issues closely
pertaining to Catholic schools to the larger questions of the
Catholic imagination. The underlying thread, however, is the
challenge of maintaining the richness of the Catholic imagination -
of tuning the rig - in changing times and the ordinary life of the
church.
