Used with permission.  \nEditor's preface:  \nWhile there were other significant presentations made at Assembly '89, the main address by intent and infact was that of the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J. Father General Kolvenbach was invited because of the importance his words could and should have for all who are working in the context of the Ignatian vision of higher education in the United States. He not only achieved this in his Assembly address but rather obviously took the occasion to make a major statement on higher education to Jesuits and their colleagues throughout the world.  \nTo facilitate study and discussion of this address, the editors have used a format which highlightsits skeletal structure and underlies its main themes.  \nThe Jesuit Provincials of the United States have definitely taken this address of Father Kolvenbach as their agenda for the apostolate of higher education. In turn, the editors hope that by making the address available to all colleagues and Jesuits it may similarly inspire them and direct their efforts for the next decade.  \nI . Introduction  \n1. This is an historic occasion: the first assembly of Jesuits from the entire spectrum of activities at all United States Jesuit institutions of higher education.  \n2. I note with pleasure the presence of some of our lay colleagues. The talent and dedication assembled in this room is potentially a massive resource for building the Kingdom of God on earth. And that is not only true for your impact upon the minds and hearts of young people in this country; like it or not, what happens in the United States affects the lives of hundreds of millions of women, men and children on every continent.  \n3. You know that. You are in a position to form the minds and heart of people who will mold the beginning of the third millennium. What a marvelous opportunity for the magis, for aiming at ever greater, more profound, more universal service. How pleased Ignatius must be to see us poised for such a challenge!  \n4. But the challenge is complex. And we would be foolish to omit serious consideration of components that makes attainment of our goal difficult. Realism is a hallmark of Ignatius. Let us, therefore, be realistic this morning. I take the occasion then, to address, not all, but some key elements in our mission today as it calls you in service.  \n5. Some of you, and some Jesuits not in this room, are uncertain, questioning the Society's commitment to the apostolate of Jesuit higher education, today and especially tomorrow. A word, then here at the start, about the place of higher education within the range of priorities of the Society.  \n6. The Society proclaims that the service of faith through the promotion of justice is the\"forma omnium\" that must be integrated as a priority, into every one of our apostolates. This change of priorities in our Society in no way calls into question the value of education as such. The famous Decree 4, in spite of erroneous interpretations, actually asked that the educational apostolate be intensified!  \n7. The decree describes the power that the educational apostolate has to contribute to the formation of multipliers for the process of education the world itself. In this way education can be a powerful leaven for the transformation of attitudes, humanizing the social climate.  \n8. It is not, therefore, education itself that is questioned, but whether education is, or is going to be, integrated into the one apostolic thrust of the Society. Fr. Arrupe declared very clearly that our purpose in education is to form women and men for others, in imitation of Christ, the Word of God, the Man for others; and Fr. Arrupe challenged us to work out the pedagogical implications of such an objective.  \n9. Therefore, instead of seeing the promotion o","cbCaimavbec2b6O2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimavbec2b6O2","pdf",965358,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Historic occasion and gathered participants\n## Purpose of higher education within Jesuit priorities\n## Integrating education into the Society’s apostolic thrust\n## Ongoing evaluation of apostolic effectiveness\n## Jesuit identity and Ignatian themes","[{\"question\":\"Why does the address emphasize the importance of higher education for Jesuits and their colleagues?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that education plays a central role in the Ignatian vision by forming people who will shape the future, and by advancing the mission of faith through the promotion of justice.\"},{\"question\":\"What priority does the Society of Jesus state must be integrated into all apostolates?\",\"answer\":\"The Society proclaims “the service of faith through the promotion of justice” as “forma omnium,” integrated as a priority into every apostolate, including education.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the address suggest Jesuit schools should respond to mission challenges?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for realistic and ongoing evaluation of apostolic effectiveness—especially through development and review of curricula and research choices—so institutions can serve the mission more effectively while retaining Jesuit identity.\"}]","Address of the Very Reverend Peter-Hans Kolvenbach - Assembly 1989 | PDF",1790652896,45]
