“Sometimes it is only in retrospect, when you’ve gone through a really hard time, but you see the fruit that has continued to be born in your life and in other people’s lives that makes you say, ‘YES, God’s grace was working here even when I didn’t feel it in the moment.’ ”

June 5 1971: Death of André Trocme, pastor of the Protestant village of Le Chambon in France. He and his wife Magda organized their village to offer a safe haven for Jews and others fleeing persecution during Nazi occupation. Hundreds took part in this conspiracy of goodness.

RIP Robert Schreiter, theologian and priest. His 1985 book “Constructing Local Theologies” was a landmark. Followed by many contributions on reconciliation, catholicity, peacebuilding, faith and culture. Beloved @OrbisBooks author, teacher, mentor, friend.
