This series contains two slightly different versions of the research paper Fulfilling the Need for Christian Personal Presence in a Detention Centre by Sister Marie Angela Aubert. The paper examines the treatment and depersonalization of inmates and how a Christian presence can help inmates to reflect and grow. The paper was written for a religious studies class she was attending at “UW” which is assumed to be the University of Windsor where she graduated with her B.A. in 1984, the same year this paper was written. The course was taught by Professor M. Carlene Garlatti who marked one of the versions of the paper. Sister Marie Angela Aubert was very engaged with detention centres and volunteered as the Coordinator of R.C. [Roman Catholic] Jail Ministry Volunteers to Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre in London, Ontario.

This series contains research papers and projects created by Sister Margaret Ferris as part of her academic studies. The primary topics of the records are spirituality and religious communities. The research papers are “The Relationship of Group Size, Effective Leadership, Urgency of Goals and Frequency of Group Interaction to Relationship Development in a Religious Community of Women” and “Towards an Expanded Model of Spiritual Direction.” The latter was later published in The Alumni Bulletin and a photocopy of that article is present here. There is also “My Spiral Dance,” a spiritual reflection which features a drawing by Sister Margaret. Both “Towards an Expanded Model of Spiritual Direction” And “My Spiral Dance” were created for spirituality courses taught by Alexandra Kovats and Matthew Fox. There are also two thesis projects in this series: The Place Where You Stand is Holy: Creation Centred Spirituality and Human Development, created as part of Sister Margaret’s Master of Arts in Culture and Spirituality, and A Training Manual in Basic Counselling Skills for Clergy and Spiritual, which was created as part of Sister Margaret’s Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Direction degree. Both theses are bound volumes. Accompanying some of these papers are photocopies of passages from publications on spirituality.
