The Chicago Mariapolis Center hosted a seminar on April 11, 2010 to introduce the New City Press title Education’s Highest Aim. The sixty participants, including professional educators, parents, students, and other interested community members, listened to an introductory talk by Dr. Thomas Masters, Midwest director of "Education and Unity," the Focolare’s educational research group. Masters, a co-author of Education’s Highest Aim, noted the many "problems" found in education today, but explained that in the light of a spirituality of communion, “these problems become opportunities for ongoing reflection and action, action that leads not to solutions, but to engagement, renewal and the formation of moral identity.”
