A great interview with Fr. Tim Scully about A.C.E. and Catholic education

To all those who care about Catholic education and expanding opportunities for underprivileged children (as we all should), Fr. Tim Scully, C.S.C., of the University of Notre Dame is a hero.  Check out this interview with him, conducted by Kathryn Lopez, called "Educating the Least of These."  A bit (that might be relevant to law-teachers, too, as the new semester starts!):

ACE’s spirituality is based first and foremost on the person of Christ the Teacher — we are constantly inviting our teachers to come to a deeper understanding of Christ in his most common day-to-day identity, which was a teacher. We invite our ACE teachers to reflect, and try to model their own service, on such characteristics of Jesus’ teaching as: his passion, his integrity (there was no gap between what he taught and how he lived), the way he loved and gave his life for those he was teaching, his perseverance through the inevitable difficulties and disappointments of teaching, his willingness to reach into the daily lives of those whom he taught (like in the parables) and help them see the deeper meanings of life, and ultimately to recognize God at work in their daily lives. . . .
