The Kingdom of God is like a publisher who was checking out of a hotel and couldn’t find his glasses. He scoured his room and got a doorman to look behind the bar and when he found them tangled in cord of a hair dryer he told everyone on Twitter so they could rejoice with him! 😎

In bestowing the John Courtney Murray Award on Roger Haight SJ, CTSA President Frank Clooney noted of his most famous work on Christology that “it attracted attention all over the world, including the Vatican.” Proud to have published that book and seven others. @OrbisBooks

Sigrid Undset died June 10 1949. One of Dorothy Day’s favorite writers. She always gave copies of “Kristin Lavransdatter” to young women at the CW. My reflections in @GiveUsThisDayLP

From my Cat Stevens phase— 1978, the next day my Catholic Worker brother Brian Terrell and I were arrested blocking railroad tracks at the Rocky Flats nuclear plant in CO. Where they make nuclear triggers for H bombs. I spent 16 days fasting in solitary in the Jefferson Co jail.
