This book provides an overview of the spirituality behind the educational ministry of the De La Salle Christian Brothers and over 1,000 educational institutions around the world, including 56 high schools and 5 colleges / universities in the United States. The book includes three sections - an overview of St. John Baptist de La Salle's life and times, a summary of his educational vision and practice in his own words, and a modern look at how that spirituality is lived out in schools today. It is an excellent introduction to the Lasallian educational world for new teachers, administrators, board members, and others associated with Lasallian schools. It establishes the context and the basic content for many conversations about the Lasallian mission, especially those that address the question of the identity of Lasallian schools.

They cover topics of theology, scripture, religious education, the nature of vocation, developmental theories, and core identifying principles for an educational institution. The short reflections at the end of the books are meant to be pondered and discussed with others.This compilation brings together the writings that I have enjoyed researching, writing about, and reading once again in my later years. They may be helpful to others as they think about, or write about, similar topics, and it is for this reason that they have been made available in this format.

Lasallian Ruminations: Essays on Various Topics

Reference

On May 15, 1950, Saint John Baptist de La Salle was declared the Patron Saint of All Teachers of Youth by the Catholic Church. There is something in his story, in his writings, and in his living spirit that plants itself in the hearts of teachers everywhere. Here is someone worth knowing, especially if you are involved in the ministry of education. Here is a remarkable individual who continues to shape the educational world of today in ways he could not have imagined, inspiring educators from all backgrounds and cultures, shaping how they see students, teachers, and the activity of teaching. His insights, example, and faith-ﬁlled perspective naturally resonate with that of educators everywhere, reminding them why they became involved in teaching in the ﬁrst place. He is indeed a true saint for all teachers. And this little book tells his story.
