Custodians of the Tradition
Reclaiming the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition
Responding to the need for shorter articles for use in the classroom or in adult education groups, this series of CFIT publications provides four-page synopses of important articles by noted scholars on key elements of the Franciscan tradition. The general editor of this series is Kathleen Moffatt, O.S.F., who has assembled a team of experienced teachers to create these digests. The Custodians Series is available here in PDF format.
