C., is this year observing the 200th anniversary of its founding by the first U.S. Catholic bishop, John Carroll, an anniversary that also marks the bicentennial of Jesuit education in the United States. A central event of this celebration was\"Assembly 89: Jesuit Ministry in Higher Education,\"a conference on June 5-8 that brought together as representatives of the 28 U.S. Jesuit colleges and universities more than 900 Jesuits and their colleagues at these institutions. At this meeting's first plenary session on Monday evening June 5, Frank H. T. Rhodes, a British-born geologist who since 1977 has been president of Cornell University in lthaca, N. Y., delivered the following keynote address. He was introduced by Timothy S. Healy, S.J., who was president of Georgetown University from 1976 until this summer when he became president and chief executive officer of the nation's second largest library, the New York Public Library, which is exceeded in size only by the Library of Congress.  \nFellow laborers in the vineyard: I am honored to meet with you on this historic occasion and to bring my congratulations and good wishes to this notable gathering.  \nLet me note in passing that, honored as I am to be here, I am also apprehensive. After all, it is a formidable prospect to face 750 Jesuits and some 180 coworkers to deliver a keynote address on Jesuit higher education in the United States not least when I am a layman, a nonCatholic, an Englishman and the president of an institution so avowedly non-sectarian that it was once described as \"godless Cornell. \" I recognize that this represents affirmative action with a vengeance, as well as a measure of optimism and trust on your part, but I must confess that it leaves me at some substantial disability. Father Healy, of course, has been kindness and thoughtfulness itself. Toward the end ofa delightful dinner this evening, he leaned over  \ntoward me and said in a voice full of understanding, \"I think we'd better go downstairs. The lions are waiting. \"  \nI congratulate you, both on the conference itself and also on the historic anniversary it celebrates. Georgetown is, indeed, the alma mater of Catholic higher education in this country. From a modest beginning 200 years ago, it has now given rise to a system that includes 28 Jesuit colleges and universities and 46 Jesuit high schools.  \nThese are remarkable results, and I want especially to congratulate Father Healy for his extraordinary leadership of Georgetown over the last 13 years. He likes to describe this university as \"being built on a bluff on the Potomac, and having been maintained that way ever since,\" but his leadership involves no bluff. It is the result of a perceptive view of the character of a Catholic university and a devoted and thoughtful commitment to the highest professional standards. I want to thank him as a colleague and a friend and to wish him wellin his new vocation.  \nI also want to congratulate you on the title of your conference. The notion of \"ministry\"in higher education would sound unfamiliar to many in our colleges and universities today, and yet it is surely the secret of the effectiveness of the Jesuit endeavor. It is a missing ingredient in much secular higher education today.  \nJesuit higher education has come a long way from Sicily in 1548, when the first Jesuit school was founded. It has come a long way from Maryland in 1634, when Andrew White, S.J., and four fellow Jesuits landed from England with Cecil Calvert, becoming a part of the Maryland colony that ultimately pro","cbCaiqOFSN2bxWDD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqOFSN2bxWDD","pdf",830533,15,"English","# Keynote reflections on Jesuit ministry\n## Conference context and leadership acknowledgments\n## The concept of ministry as an ingredient of effectiveness\n## Historical roots and continuing service\n## Academic quality and Catholic identity as discussion prompts","[{\"question\":\"What occasion prompted the keynote address at Assembly 89?\",\"answer\":\"It was delivered during “Assembly 89: Jesuit Ministry in Higher Education,” a June 5-8 conference tied to Georgetown University’s 200th anniversary and the bicentennial of Jesuit education in the United States.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the speaker characterize the term “ministry” in higher education?\",\"answer\":\"He argues that “ministry” is unfamiliar to many modern university communities, yet it is the key to Jesuit effectiveness and a missing element in much secular higher education.\"},{\"question\":\"What historical periods does the address highlight for Jesuit education?\",\"answer\":\"It points to early Jesuit schooling beginning in Sicily in 1548 and Jesuit presence in Maryland starting in 1634, connecting those beginnings to the later development of Georgetown and the broader Jesuit education system.\"}]","The Mission and Ministry of Jesuits in Higher Education - keynote address | PDF",1790652907,38]
