- La description:
- Adrian L. Van Kaam was a Roman Catholic priest from Duquesne University. Susan Muto was the Director of the Institute of Formative Spirituality. The service begins with organ music (0:00:00-0:02:43). There is a moment of prayer (0:02:44-0:04:30). A welcome is extended to the guests (0:04:31-0:05:33). Adriam L. Van Kaam and Susan Muto are introduced as the chapel speakers (0:05:34-0:07:54). Muto reviews what was previously taught (0:07:55-0:09:01). She introduces the new obstacles to formative spirituality, which she names discouragement or burnout and anger (0:09:02-0:11:36). Muto discusses the feeling of discouragement or depletion that many people feel in their life and that one must ask introspective questions (0:11:37-0:22:09). Van Kaam argues the cause of inner despair is the temptation to believe that one’s works are capable of sustaining one instead of God (0:22:10-0:27:40). Van Kaam uses the testimony of a Jewish woman to illustrate that one must go through suffering before realizing that one cannot be sustained by one’s own works and the renewing of faith (0:27:41-0:31:55). Van Kaam speaks about how the Lord performs miracles in people that may only be revealed in eternity, putting smiles in people’s hearts and springs in their steps (0:31:56-0:40:45). Muto explains that faith is difficult to share if one does not have it for themselves (0:40:46-0:42:40). Muto explains that when a minister becomes so focused on others that they don’t minister to themselves, which can build up anger (0:42:41-0:46:35). Muto shares that one should go to the Lord instead of blaming others (0:46:36-0:47:52). Van Kaam states that nothing eats more at physical life than unrighteous anger (0:47:53-0:49:30). He explains that forgiveness is healing, especially considering that much anger is born from religious strife (0:49:31-0:55:17). Van Kaam argues that one cannot force others to have the same opinion, and one should not let anger get in the way of civil conversation (0:55:18-1:01:18). The location for further discussion with the chapel speakers is announced (1:01:19-1:02:05). The service closes with a benediction (1:02:06-1:02:22).

2. SEBTS Kendrick-Poerschke Lecture - Adrian L. Van Kaam and Susan Muto March 25, 1986
- La description:
- Adrian L. Van Kaam was a Roman Catholic priest from Duquesne University. Susan Muto was the Director of the Institute of Formative Spirituality. The service begins with the reading of a hymn (0:00-0:52). There is a moment of prayer (0:53-1:30). The guests are welcomed, and announcements are given (1:31-3:10). Father Adrian L. Van Kaam and Susan Muto are introduced as the chapel speakers (3:11-6:24). Muto introduces their presentation by sharing the topic of spiritual formation and shares that they will use meditative reflection, an ancient practice for spiritual formation, giving examples (6:25-14:25). Muto has a moment of prayer (14:26-15:20). Muto shares about the usage of time in meditating on Scripture, emphasizing a separation from the political and worldly aspects of the world (15:21-17:49). Van Kaam speaks about the beauty of poetry, such as the Psalms, that cause one to have an experience (17:50-19:45). Van Kaam speaks about the term “formative spirituality” and the need for a continual reformation of the church (19:46-21:09). He explains the obstacles of formative spirituality, such as urgency instead of a prayerful presence of contemplation and argues that the whole of Christianity is a practice of listening to the Lord (21:10-29:02). They have a moment of stillness (29:03-29:20). Muto speaks of the film Van Kaam mentioned earlier, speaking about “knowing the external rules of religion” with a lack of deep spirituality (29:21-32:35). Muto walks through meditating as an example for the congregation, sharing that it takes weeks for one to become quiet enough to learn something about the Spirit (32:36-39:36). Van Kaam speaks about those who leave the church to pursue psychology or similar pursuits and the efforts of formative spirituality to prevent such a falling away (39:37-52:57). The service closes in a moment of prayer (52:58-53:57).
