@TheKateWard @aselak @BrianPFlanagan @nimperatori @SusanBReynolds1 I humbly offer this perspective from Australian Bishop Mark Coleridge who notes "the process is the product" : https://t.co/dpgGA5NMwJ

In #Frascati22 our experts are working on the syntheses produced during the local consultation phase. Pages and pages full of stories, insights, but also in some cases real works of art.

Prayers for these peacemakers #religiousdelegation2kyiv 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

[FranciscanActionNet @franciscannet]

World religious leaders are in Kyiv this week to express their solidarity with Ukraine and its people. They seek to transform the conflict through prayer, listening, attentiveness, and pastoral accompaniment with those who are suffering. #ReligiousDelegation2Kyiv

@gehringdc-"The howling pain & anger of grieving Black families in Buffalo must not be their burden alone to carry"; white Catholics "must also share in that anger & pain so that from this place of anguish & death we can find a new way of living."

[NCR @NCRonline]

Too many white Catholics with money and power mock "wokeism" on the left rather than fight systemic racism, writes @gehringdc.

@BuffaloDiocese Dear Bishop Fisher, w/ respect, what I understand is that a man motivated by the evils of racism & white supremacy intentionally sought to murder Black members of your flock yesterday. The people of God whom you shepherd need you to speak w/ clarity about what this really is.

Congrats to 3 Religion & Theology Minors of the Class of 2022 for receiving distinguished awards @LaSalleUniv - @inp500, Nhi Nguyen & Jude Roche!!! So proud of you & grateful for all you taught us! Go do more amazing things.

[Maureen O'Connell @theoethicist]

Much to lament over, pray about, and organize around here. Thanks @nimperatori and @MollieOReilly for a candid conversation grounded in experience & attentive to intersectionality.

[Commonweal Magazine @commonwealmag]

Commonweal editor-at-large @MollieOReilly and theologian @nimperatori discuss the potentially damaging consequences of reversing Roe, highlight the complex realities of reproductive health, and discuss their experiences as mothers.

Is This What We Wanted?

Grateful to @toddiepeters for this courageous and urgent contribution to Christian ethics with @BeaconPressBks that is helping me make sense of all that brought us to this week & purposeful ways to move forward.

[Maureen O'Connell @theoethicist]

@HabitatPhilly's 13th Building Hope Lunch-In is especially poignant today. So much is wrong in our country & city; but here is a MOVEMENT doing right by & with Philadelphians around the human right to housing. Inspiring to watch @nhannahjones & @corinneoc talk housing equity!

Catholic Higher Ed hive mind! I'm prepping for the #CTS annual convention & looking for campuses w public memorials/rituals that acknowledge/remember/redress histories of enslavement or settler colonialism OR honor/sanctify those impacted by those histories. DM me any recs! TY!

[Maureen O'Connell @theoethicist]

An overdue thanks to @emma_mcdonald21 for the care you took with #UndoingtheKnots, and to many in the @BosColTheology community for the things you taught - and still teach - me about personal conversion AND structural change.

Courageous students and leaders - campus & diocesan - willing to listen to them gives me hope. @Synod_va #walkingtogetherphilly

[La Salle University @LaSalleUniv]

.@ArchbishopPerez visited campus to speak with college students from La Salle and other regional universities for an All-Campus Synodal Listening Session.

The session created opportunities to uplift students' voices and dreams, and hear their concerns. (@ArchPhilly)

[Maureen O'Connell @theoethicist]

Excited to be honoring a Catholic higher ed leader so dedicated to the common good with such an inspiring group of people at @UDayton. Zoom in tomoz and Sunday! Thanks @millervincentj and @UDaytonREL for making it happen.

Hands down the most important endorsement UNDOING THE KNOTS could get. Humbled. Thanks @TiaPhD for the innovative & practical way you do The Work. #BlackCatholicSyllabus

[Maureen O'Connell @theoethicist]

This long time @onwurd listener became a 1st time caller! Thanks @solomonjones1 for the chance to chat about racial justice in the city we love. Your TEN LIVES, TEN DEMANDS is a must read. Maybe we chat again @LaSalleUniv & get some students & colleagues in on it? @BeaconPressBks

[Beacon Press @BeaconPressBks]
