My देवर died from Covid yesterday. He made this American girl welcome when I arrived in India 40 years ago and he was like that with everyone: warm, loving, gracious. The life of the party always.

"A Russian Orthodox Theologian of Solidarity:

Recording of Bishop Rowan Williams giving the annual Colin Gunton lecture King's College Chapel on May 5th. Highly recommended.

Feast of Bd Franz Jagerstatter, who was beheaded by the Nazis in 1943 for refusing to take a military oath of loyalty to Hitler. He was the sole Austrian Catholic to take this stand. A video based on my text: piped.video/watch?v=nMtrwfz6…

Franz acted without expectation that his witness would change history or even be remembered by anyone at all. It was almost forgotten. But once you know his story, you can't "unknow" it. His writings published by @OrbisBooks. His story in Terrence Malick's film "A Hidden Life."

Expanding my library of memoirs of liberation theologians. This is a recent one from @wipfandstock. Berryman, who began as a priest but left to marry, was in the thick of liberation theology in Latin America and provided a ton of English translations.

Wonderful and timely new book by @jordandenari (@OrbisBooks). Will be posting my interview with her soon.
It’s publication day for my book, #Islamophobia_WhatChristiansShouldKnow
I hope it can help us breakdown Islamophobia and build up a better world defined by hospitality, justice, and fierce love.
My immense gratitude to those who shared their experiences + expertise with me.

Today is the feast of St Celestine V (1296), a simple monk who experienced great tensions between the office of Pope and the call to holiness and resolved them by abdicating after 5 mos. His memory was invoked by the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in 2013. Less remembered:

For saddling the church with Boniface Dante placed Celestine in the vestibule of the Inferno. Italian novelist Ignacio Silone made Celestine the hero of a play in which his story dramatizes the conflict between the spirit of the gospel and the principle of power.

One of my fave accounts to follow, because you get the stories of the Pentagon Papers whistleblowers (living ethically by challenging injustice) and you get stories of the Saints (living ethically by challenging injustice). And you’d never guess one person would deliver both.
Here is the 3rd episode in the "The Whistleblower" podcast about my father @DanielEllsberg's release of the Pentagon Papers. In this episode my sister and I discuss our brief supporting role. It's quite a story! "The Presses Roll" thegroundtruthproject.org/pu…
