"In Advent, we put all our hope in the sacred blackness of a womb. As we wait, we remind ourselves that darkness (which is far too ofen reduced to a trite symbol for sin and death), actually has the unique capacity to bear the divine. In Advent, we reclaim the holy dark."
@blackliturgies, Cole Arthur Riley

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.

within the icon itself, and ultimately an encounter with the Divine.
