"When we're not willing to hold the complexity, the simple answers are the wrong ones... Often times, even people who are pro-immigrant talk about the people that we walk with at the border like heroes. And folks who are anti-immigrant talk about them as villains. But neither of those actually resonate as true. The people we are working with are really ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances."
Joanna Williams, the Executive Director of the Kino Border Initiative and Joaquin Pannunzio, a Contemplative Leaders in Action (CLA) New York Alum and former Kino Border Initiative Volunteer, recently joined the CLA community to discuss the theme of "Leading in Complexity." They discuss the complexity of the work of the Kino Border Initiative in accompanying immigrants as well as prayer and contemplation.
LISTEN: Leading in Complexity with the Kino Border Initiative
The world needs Ignatian leaders:
contemplatives in action discerning God’s movements, responding out of love, and living as people with and for others. Ignatian leaders are hopeful, joyful, and free to be their authentic selves.
This kind of leadership flows from a deep spiritual life and inspired sense of purpose.
Rooted in the Jesuit and Ignatian Tradition
CLA is a collaboration among Jesuits, women’s religious communities, and lay people, all committed to forming an Ignatian community in which young adults can deepen their faith and grow as leaders.
Upcoming events for young adults (20’s and 30’s).
