ikon as your home: Ikon institutes
-
IKON Institutes integrate the grace of faith into communal living.
The Newman Idea seeks to establish and support IKON Institutes on secular campuses—small communities of students dedicated to prayer, study through IKON courses, work, and service. Where possible, an IKON Institute will provide a residence for students, so that they can live an integrated life of faith, knowledge, and service in community.Each IKON Institute is established and supported by the Newman Idea, and its mission to form a relatively small community where students who desire to integrate their faith and knowledge through a holistic formation. We are inspired in part by the Benedictine tradition of Ora et Labora, especially in Benedict of Aniane’s desire to replicate a form of spiritual and intellectual life.

"I wish [for students] to be at once oracles of philosophy and shrines of devotion… It will not satisfy me, if religion is here, and science there, and young people converse with science all day, and lodge with religion in the evening... I want the same roof to contain both the intellectual and moral discipline."
