It is grounded in a firm belief in the God-given dignity of every human person. Today over 200 Catholic Worker communities remain committed to nonviolence, voluntary\u00a0poverty, prayer, and hospitality for the homeless, exiled, hungry, and forsaken. Catholic Workers continue to protest\u00a0injustice, war, racism, and violence of all forms. The White Rose Catholic Worker follows in this tradition by running a\u00a0house of hospitality and a rural farm. We are committed to a consistent prayer life, hospitality to those in need, education for\u00a0social justice, nonviolent resistance, and ecological sustainability. The farm is an important part of our effort to produce our\u00a0own local, organic, sustainable food for the people and guests who live at the WRCW and to redistribute food to survivors of\u00a0torture through the Kolver Center in Rogers Park. In addition, the farm helps promote a closer relationship to the earth and\u00a0helps us try to live a more sustainable lifestyle.<\/div>\n<p><div>There is a good article about the community in the Loyola Magazine and\u00a0Marquette Magazine: http:\/\/www.luc.edu\/ips\/pdfs\/Beat_of_a_Different_Drum.pdf<\/div>\n<div>http:\/\/www.marquette.edu\/magazine\/recent.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1310071926&amp;archive=<\/div>\n<p><div>DESCRIPTION: \u00a0An apprentice will live and work at either the farm or the city house full time for the year engaging in the\u00a0shared work of the WRCW. \u00a0This could involve a wide range activities like doing hospitality to overnight guests, cooking\u00a0meals, spreading a Gift Economy (through gift circles or free markets), hosting H.S. &amp; college student immersion groups,\u00a0attending protests, helping in the garden, preserving the harvest, connecting with community groups, leading prayer\/liturgy,\u00a0speaking at churches or schools, facilitating groups, learning\/studying about the many issues of our time, attending the\u00a0spring\/fall Catholic Worker gatherings, heading to D.C. for the Witness Against Torture Fast in January, visiting other\u00a0Catholic Worker communities, or hosting a Craft Retreat! \u00a0There will plenty of opportunities of personal formation and\u00a0training throughout the year. \u00a0We are looking for people of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in going deeper into\u00a0the journey of nonviolence at the personal, communal, and systemic level. \u00a0We are actively working to create a world where\u00a0\u201cit is easier to be good\u201d and want partners to join us in the work!<\/div>\n<p><div>DESIGN: \u00a0We see this as a mutual learning and living process through a series of experiments with Truth (think Gandhi!).\u00a0Each apprentice will co-design their year with the WRCW around their particular interests, skills, and potential areas of\u00a0growth. \u00a0Each apprentice will be paired with a nonviolence mentor through Pace e Bene, a nonviolence training organization\u00a0with whom we work closely. \u00a0The mentor will meet with you on a monthly basis and be a resource available beyond that as\u00a0needed. \u00a0At the end of the year, apprentices can explore becoming a core member of the WRCW.<\/div>\n<p><div>How do I get more info? \u00a0 \u00a0Call IPS alumnus John Bambrick-Rust at 402-203-2173<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNonviolent Living Apprenticeship\u201d at the White Rose Catholic Worker STARTS: Jan 1 \u2013 Mar 1, 2013 \u00a0 \u00a0ENDS: Dec 31, 2013 LOCATION: \u00a0WRCW House (Chicago, IL) OR \u00a0WRCW Farm (Monee, IL) Room, board, and a small stipend (negotiated based on need) BACKGROUND: \u00a0Founded in 1933 by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, the Catholic Worker Movement <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/?p=1019\"> read more <span class=\"meta-nav\"><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1019"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4587,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019\/revisions\/4587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/ips\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
