The Journal of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is the annual publication of the United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, in cooperation with the International Council of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Those concerned with children’s theological education will find the Journal a reflective resource for ongoing formation to support their work with children. The features demonstrate an understanding of the child, particularly from the point of view of his or her religious potential. This focus on the religious life of the child is the distinguishing feature of the Journal. Each year, themes are chosen centered on children’s innate spirituality and religious development as described in the work of Dr. Maria Montessori, Sofia Cavalletti, and Gianna Gobbi. The theological artwork, prayers, and observations of children in the atrium are vital. Of particular interest are works of the child that show the synthesis of themes presented in the atrium. The 2024 Journal celebrates the history of CGSUSA and features contributions from members on four decades of the catechesis in the United States.
The United States Association of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is proud to feature the Montessori Foundations of CGS in the 2022 Journal. This year's journal continues the examination of Maria Montessori’s work, which is so integral to the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. The articles explore how Montessori’s theory and practice are integrated throughout the atrium experience to assist the child from three to twelve years in an encounter with God.
Ann Garrido’s 2009 article in America magazine on the spirituality of administration in Catholic settings created a wave of demand in this successful academic administrator’s already full speaking schedule. Garrido admits that she sometimes finds administration draining, even boring, as it fractures her days into “tiny shards of time” that make it impossible to focus on “the big ideas.” And yet she has found spiritual gifts in her many years as a theologian, parish minister, and administrator in higher education. In Redeeming Administration, she reveals those gifts by examining twelve spiritual habits for Catholic leaders in parishes, schools, religious communities, and other institutions—presenting a saint who embodies each habit—and showing readers how to experience their administrative work as a crucial ministry of the Church. A brief prayer and questions for personal reflection, group conversation, or spiritual direction complete each chapter. Free downloads to accompany Redeeming Administration include a small-group guide and prayer resources.
While film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays captured the popular imagination at the turn of the last century, independent filmmakers began to adapt the plays of Shakespeare's contemporaries. The roots of their films in European avant-garde cinema and the plays' politically subversive, sexually transgressive and violent subject matter challenge Shakespeare's cultural dominance and the conventions of mainstream cinema. In Screening Early Modern Drama, Pascale Aebischer shows how director Derek Jarman constructed an alternative, dissident approach to filming literary heritage in his 'queer' Caravaggio and Edward II, providing models for subsequent filmmakers such as Mike Figgis, Peter Greenaway, Alex Cox and Sarah Harding. Aebischer explains how the advent of digital video has led to an explosion in low-budget screen versions of early modern drama. The only comprehensive analysis of early modern drama on screen to date, this groundbreaking study also includes an extensive annotated filmography listing forty-eight surviving adaptations.
