This new Currents column will feature comments from member school students about faith and academics at the GTU. Three JSTB students are featured in this inaugural column.

Christine Boyle
One component of Ignatian spirituality is the precept “We should find God in all things.” As I look at the image of God found on Holy Hill, I see incredible diversity, shattering what so many of us are schooled in. My task is to recognize the divine in that creation. Being at the GTU has forced me to confront my fears and prejudices, and has expanded my sense of the image of God.

Mary Ann Winters
Because of the community and diversity of faith traditions and of people from all over the world here, studying at the GTU has opened up a new awareness of the wonder of how God works in me and in others. Students and faculty truly live out their faith and their beliefs here.

Peter Hansen
This kind of ecumenical environment provokes you to consider what you really think. There are such diverse perspectives in the classroom, and a nice balance of academic and ministerial focus at in my program at JSTB. It gives me a sense of how the academic ties into real life—it isn’t just about ideas.
