Study at Oblate School of Theology & Prepare for Ecological Leadership in Ministry January 7th, 2026

Course: Ecological Theology & Christian Stewardship
Professor: Fr. Hector, Kalaluka, OMI

Course Description:

This course explores ecological theology from a Christian perspective, focusing on the relationship between faith, creation, and environmental responsibility. Students will engage with critical Catholic teachings on ecological stewardship, including studying foundational documents such as Laudato Si’ and other papal encyclicals.

Through theological reflection and analysis of contemporary environmental issues, the course will highlight the moral and spiritual dimensions of caring for the earth as part of Christian responsibility. Students will also explore how Catholic social teaching calls for justice, sustainability, and a commitment to the common good in addressing the global ecological crisis.
 
This course will provide students with an opportunity to study Christian eco-theologians such as Teilhard de Chardin, Leonardo Boff, Thomas Berry, Elizabeth Johnson, and Ernst M. Conradie. Conradie’s book Christianity and Ecological Theology will be our primary resource. Lastly, students will prepare themselves to become ecological leaders in their future ecclesial ministries.

How Do Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the Right to Life March Fit In?

Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, TX

Oblate School of Theology’s commitment to Christian Unity continues to grow.  On Jan. 24, at 7 pm, the Sankofa Institute (for African American Pastoral Leadership) will lead a Christian Unity Service.  The guest preacher will be Dr. Jerry W. Dailey, from Macedonia Baptist Church, San Antonio, TX.

White Earth, MN

Although there will be no explicit actions for ecumenism in our six parishes of White Earth during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, due to the temporary absence of the Protestant minister who works with the Oblates, there continues to be great ecumenical activity. During last November, the Ojibwa community in Waubun held an autumn feast and fun day.  United Church of Christ Pastor Anna Larson and Fr. John Cox, O.M.I. offered craft activities for the children.

When the Oblate national administration met at White Earth from Sept. 16-19,  2019, they saw that some of our main programs providing assistance (educational, social welfare, drug rehabilitation, employment opportunities and job training) require input from all the Christian Churches on the reservation.  No one Church has the resources alone.  Read the full article at OMIUSA.org.

Where You Bank Matters April 20th, 2016

Where You Bank Matters, by Fr. Seamus Finn, OMI

In collaboration with the Socially Responsible Investment Coalition (SRIC), ICCR sponsored an informative and engaging roundtable on sustainable banking at the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio on April 6th. The idea for the roundtable was part of the vision and mission of the ICCR financial services caucus and was realized when the group found an accomplished and energetic partner in the Global Alliance for Banking on Values.
