The Way

Header

The Editor of The Way is Philip Endean SJ. Born in London in 1954, Philip was educated at Bishop Challoner School in Beckenham and by the Jesuits at St John's Beaumont and Stonyhurst College. He read English at Merton College, Oxford, before entering the Jesuit novitiate in 1977. He studied philosophy and theology at Heythrop College, University of London, punctuated by a year of pastoral work in Mexico. Before ordination in 1985, he also did a masters degree, specialising in Jesuit history, at Weston Jesuit School of Theology, under Fr John O'Malley.

As a priest, Philip's first mission was to serve as chaplain at the Manchester university hospitals. In 1987, he began doctoral studies at Campion Hall, Oxford, under Archbishop Rowan Williams, and the eventual result (in 2001!) was Karl Rahner and Ignatian Spirituality, now available as a paperback. This project led to many connections with the German-speaking world: more than a year of research at the Jesuitenkolleg in Innsbruck in order to be near Rahner's papers; and Jesuit tertianship in Germany under the tutelage both of Fr Piet van Breemen in Berlin and a group of young men with learning difficulties in Mönchengladbach. In 1992, he was appointed to the faculty of Heythrop as a lecturer in both systematic and pastoral theology, and served there for nine years until the summer of 2001, when he returned to Campion Hall to serve as Tutor in Theology alongside his role as editor of The Way.

Philip has published numerous articles, principally on Ignatian topics, and also collaborated with Joseph A. Munitiz SJ on the Penguin Classics volume on Ignatius. In 2004, Orbis Books published his selection and translation of Rahner's spiritual writings. He has served as a resource-person and facilitator for chapters in Slovakia, Austria, Rome and the UK, and regularly contributes to the spiritual directors training course at St Beuno's in North Wales.

The Assistant Editor is Elizabeth Lock, who also read English at Oxford and has done research on twentieth-century literature and literary theory. As well as working for The Way, she is a freelancer for the Oxford English Dictionary, and a copy-editor and proof-reader.
