Guided by the writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the Association seeks to bring an encompassing perspective to this great task of shaping the well-being of the entire earth community, at a time when so many crises threaten it. Teilhard's vision of the sequential evolution of the universe from its origin to the human phenomenon can provide a firm and inspiring basis upon which to proceed. Now, for the first time, humanity is converging to a new unity in diversity that needs to be understood and facilitated. To help in this work, the Association, since its foundation in 1967, has sponsored annual conferences, a monthly lecture series, study groups, and a variety of publications.
The Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University
(JST-SCU) is a theological school faithful to the intellectual tradition and the apostolic priority of the Society of Jesus: reverent and critical service of the faith that does justice. As such, JST-SCU shares Santa Clara’s strategic commitment to a Jesuit education grounded in an engaged pedagogy for the formation of leaders of competence, conscience, and compassion.
Santa Clara University is a Catholic and Jesuit institution that makes student learning its central focus, promotes faculty and staff learning in its various forms, and exhibits organizational learning as it deals with the challenges facing it. As an academic community, we expand the boundaries of knowledge and insight through teaching, research, artistic expression, and other forms of scholarship. It is primarily through discovering, communicating, and applying knowledge that we exercise our institutional responsibility as a voice of reason and conscience in society.
