| Summary: | In this article, Bernard Lonergan’s delineation of the process of self-transcendence is combined with his ideas about the progress of communities. Coupling these two concepts leads to an understanding of how we, as humans, should act in society, and it becomes clear that progress in community requires ethical action. A new movement of interfaith service, that of the Interfaith Youth Core, is explored as a case study – an example of the horizon shifts that could occur when both individual and societal conversions, rooted in love and expressed in ethical action, impact a global community. Dans cet article, le modèle de Bernard Lonergan dans le processus d’auto-transcendance se combine à ses idées sur le progrès des communautés. La rencontre de ces deux concepts conduit à une compréhension de la façon dont nous, en tant qu’êtres humains, devons agir dans la société, et il devient clair que les progrès en communauté exige une action éthique. Un nouveau mouvement du service interreligieux, l’Interfaith Youth Core, est exploré, comme une étude de cas, et pris comme un exemple de changement d’horizon qui peut se produire, lorsque les deux conversions individuelles et sociales, enracinées dans l’amour et exprimées dans l’action éthique, influence la communauté mondiale. |
