Deepen Faith, Personal ity For Seminary Spirituality ST. MEINRAD (NC)-How do you.go about the spiritual formation of today's seminarianstomorrow's priests-at a time when notions about both "spirituality" and "formation" are changing drastically? The search for answers to that question brought 150 men from seminaries throughout the country together for the first national conference for seminary spiritual directors.
Sixty dioceses, 30 religious communities and 11 0 seminaries were represented to dialogue with several bishops, a number of seminarians and a sprinkling of lay and Religious observers. ,The week-long' meeting pro-, duced no one answer but there were plenty of ideas. , One' theme running throughout the conference was the relationship of contemporary behavioral sciences to spiritual for-
mation. "You'll never deepen a man's faith without deepening his spirituality," it emphasized.' Rev. Eugene Kennedy, 'M.M., psychologist at Loyola University in Chicago, hammered away at the idea of integral development of personality-particularly through relationships with others -as the ideal ~otmation.
