"Revisioning Mission: The Future of Catholic Higher Education" is
both a "how to" book and a resource text. The first section
describes the challenge of continuity that faces Catholic colleges
and universities: Religious congregations which founded these
institutions are no longer present on campus in numbers that allow
them to preserve and nurture the Catholic culture and religious
heritage of the congregation. New faculty, as well as all
employees, will need a formation program to introduce or update
their understanding of Catholic higher education, especially at
their own institution. "Revisioning Mission" offers instructions on
creating such a program through the development of learning
communities. The second section provides a series of content essays
that profile the spiritual life of students, explain the Catholic
culture, Catholic intellectual life, adult spirituality, and
discusses the founding religious congregations. The final essay,
"The Mission Community," emphasizes the importance of university
faculty, staff, and administrators forming a community that is
committed to the continuity and development of the institution in
the 21st century as robustly Catholic with the unique heritage of
the founding religious congregation. Preserving and enhancing the
value-added dimension of these colleges and universities is
essential to their survival as Catholic institutions. "Revisioning
Mission" provides extensive references and recommended readings for
those interested in furthering their understanding of the future of
Catholic higher education.
