Praying, Living, & Loving the Franciscan Way
The recent interfaith service attended by Pope Francis at Ground Zero emphasized the respectful and positive attitude toward other non-Christian religions since the Vatican II renewal 50 years ago in the Catholic Church. Sister Patricia Nightingale of Baltimore requested an ad for the upcoming Windows Opening Interfaith Conference she will attend in her area. We have posted the ad created by Jean Merry, our Communications Director. Here in Milwaukee, Sister Adele Thibaudeau, a 15 year member of the Archdiocesan Jewish /Catholic Conference is announcing the 50th Anniversary of the document NOSTRA AETATE. It launched a series of discussions and Jewish Catholic actions that have begun to change the regrettable and often uneducated attitudes toward Jewish people. The opening event for donors was held at the Marquette University Haggerty Museum. The 105 piece collection of Chagall lithographs of Biblical stories, donated by Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty are all on display from now through December 23. The group was treated to a presentation by Deidre Dempsey, PH.D., Associate Professor of Theology on the prints. Adjacent to the Chagall exhibit are the dramatic, very large photographs of Biblical Stories by Adi Nes. He employs actors to represent Jewish historical figures at their most vulnerable moments. Pictured here is his rendition of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac, an abused looking child in a shopping cart of garbage. He will give a presentation on Thursday, November 5 at 6pm. Free. Space is limited. Call for information: 414-288-1669. For further information on four future programs, the next one being October 8 at 7pm, contact [email protected] or [email protected]
