In his article in America Magazine, James F. Keenan, S.J, reflects in "The key to good teaching? Vulnerability", on how he learned to teach students not only what they need to know but also that they need to learn to respond both vulnerably and collectively to what they know.

When Father Keenan shook Pope Leo XIV’s hand, His Holiness said: ‘We’ve met before’. Neither could recall the occasion.
Later, Fr. Keenan realized that they must have encountered one another in the early 1970s.
What an honor! And what an impressive memory!
Vice Provost for Global Engagement & Theology Professor James Keenan, SJ, and Global Engagement Exec Director Bryan Fleming attended an International Congress held at the Vatican as part of the Jubilee of the World of Education.

In an event titled The Course That Changed My Life,
Prof Robinette shared how, 10 years ago, he and colleagues created 'Aesthetic and Spiritual Exercises', one of the 1st Enduring Questions courses.
It addressed the question: how can we train for both a life of beauty and of spiritual perception?
