Study for Mission
A talk given at a vocations weekend by Sr Tamsin Geach o.p.
Intrinsic to the Dominican vocation are the ‘four pillars’ of Study, Prayer, Community life and Preaching or the mission. I shall explore how study fits into Dominican life under the following headings:
1. Models of Study
2. Study and conformity to Christ
3. An intellectual life that is counter-cultural
4. Study as a source of unity
5. Study as asceticism
6. Study as mission
7. Stewardship
8. Freedom from and freedom for.
