New Book Celebrates Creighton’s Spiritual Roots
 When Creighton students came to campus this fall, a small book mysteriously appeared among their “Welcome to Creighton” items. Well, maybe not so mysteriously.
The Union of Minds and Hearts: Celebrating the Spiritual Roots of Creighton University, An Introduction for Newcomers is the brainchild of Creighton Director of Campus Ministry and biblical theologian Laura Weber, Ph.D.
A collection of essays by 20 Creighton Jesuits and lay partners, The Union of Minds and Hearts is meant to fit easily into a backpack or briefcase, but not to stay unopened.
The anthology, Weber says, offers a concise introduction to Creighton’s founding vision, a brief recounting of the life and educational endeavors of St. Ignatius of Loyola, an exploration of Ignatian spirituality as it applies to the University context, and a celebration of Ignatius’ quest to “find God in all things,” along with his motto, “Ad majorem Dei gloriam” or “for the greater glory of God.”
To order the book, contact the Creighton Bookstore at 402.280.2796.
