To be an authority in the classroom requires authenticity, and that includes choosing to acknowledge our mistakes. Teaching students the gift of error, and how to respond freely and virtuously to it, is a necessary facet of the Christian experience.
Seton Teaching Fellows offer up a year of their life in Christian service. It's a gift freely given. Some of our STF alumni experience a gift in return: a vocational calling.
There are many social issues that get touted as "the greatest problem facing the Church today," but the Church faithful often fail to see the spiritual drought at the root of these concerns.
