Description

This course explores the history, meaning, and role of discernment in everyday life, decision-making, and spiritual direction. It examines the Rules for Discernment articulated by Ignatius of Loyola as ?descriptions? of people?s interior lives and ?guidelines? for the understanding of the Spiritual Exercises. Consideration is also given to the implications of discernment processes for group deliberations, as well as those which take seriously the social and environmental dimensions of life.
