Our nation's legacy with Thanksgiving is complex,  deeply tainted by genocide and injustice,  yet filled with loving tradition and the yearning to do better, be better. We hope that everyone has time this week to rest and be filled with gratitude as you are surrounded by friends and family.   We offer the short film of reflection for your prayer and your table.  Have a safe and peaceful Thanksgiving, JST community.

Prophetic Communities: Organizing as an Expression of Catholic Social Thought

University of San Francisco | Thursday February 9th -Saturday February 11th, 2023

English with simulcast interpretation to Spanish

This conference will explore how Catholic theology and social thought has given rise to community organizing and how community organizers embody and shape the Catholic social tradition. Convened at the University of San Francisco, this three-day event will bring together scholars across disciplines with community organizers of various networks to build relationships, knowledge, and capacity for theological reflection and praxis. Our hope is that bridging the church, academy, and social movements, this conference will foster the solidarity and synodality that Pope Francis has envisioned. Please see: https://rsvp.usfca.edu/event/5bdcf7e5-b758-47e8-9d24-f7047c902f35/summary

Conversations: Engaging Ethiopian Iconography

Bonnie Hardwick, former director of the Graduate Theological Union Library and long-
time iconographer, explores the multicultural influences expressed in the Ethiopian
iconographic tradition. The conversation is multivalent: the iconographer’s engagement
with the subject, the relationship between the icon and the viewer, the conversation
within the icon itself, and ultimately an encounter with the Divine.
