Leadership and Charism by Br Sean Sammon
Considerable academic research has been undertaken about the transmission of charism. Often charism is experienced significantly in schools administered by the members of Religious Congregations. In this article, John Lydon analyses the nature of charism, focusing on leadership and then reflecting on the life of St John Bosco and the nature of the Salesian charism. His article can be read here.
Mark Farrelly was one of the first to write about the role charism can play in education. As an Australian Marist Brother (now deceased) he wrote in particular about how the thinking of Marcellin Champagnat could influence classroom practice in our contemporary world. You can read his 1997 article titled 'A Simple Gift' here.
