- 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).
