As he notes, he is in high spirits, grateful for the life he has lived, eager to use his remaining time to continue his work for peace and the survival of our planet. May his example inspire us all to live more courageously, generously, and hopefully.

Terrific summary of Christopher Kellerman’s history of slavery and Catholic Church @OrbisBooks . My interview with him here: piped.video/NTPHn226BuM
1/11 This @CJKellermanSJ book is, hands down, one of the best theological works I have read. This isn’t another text vainly cheerleading for a cause- it’s a deep examination of painful truths worthy of the @JesuitsGlobal’s reputation for scholarship.
