Finding God in a New Age | "Those who allow themselves to be caught by the notion of trying to find God in all things discover that they are constantly in the company of the God of Surprises."
Brian Grogan, SJ
Jesus: Social Revolutionary | Why was Jesus crucified? You don't get crucified for telling people to love one another - unless by love you mean something so radical, so threatening, so subversive of the way that people live, that the authorities feel they have to get rid of you. Crucifixion was reserved for revolutionaries.
Peter McVerry, SJ
| The Development of Peoples: Challenges for Today and Tomorrow |
Jesuit Centre for Faith and JusticeThe Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice, in association with the International Jesuit Network on Development (IJND), has published a collection of essays to mark the fortieth anniversary of Populorum Progressio, the papal encyclical on development and justice. This visionary encyclical, which highlighted many of the issues that we now see as central to development, is sadly still relevant in a world where millions of people in our world today live in misery. The central themes in Populorum Progressio, have inspired experts in development to reflect on its enduring relevance. The Development of Peoples: Challenges for Today and Tomorrow looks at issues across today’s development spectrum, including poverty, debt, trade, peace and conflict, human rights, globalisation, HIV/AIDS, gender inequality, the environment, and migration. ContributorsThe writers come from five continents, and include Mary Ann Cejka, Peter Henriot SJ, Michael Kelly SJ, Justin Kilcullen, Peadar Kirby, Mulima Kufekisa-Akapelwa, Maria Reilly OP, and Jon Sobrino SJ. The Foreword is by Mary Robinson, the founder of Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative, and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The essays were commissioned by the International Jesuit Network for Development, and were prepared for publication by the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice in Dublin.
