Titles for Reading and Discussion
Against War by Pope FrancisFrom the beginning of his papacy, Pope Francis made concern and action for peace and nonviolence one of his signature themes. From his travels to Iraq and other war-torn regions to his prophetic homilies in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he has called the world to pursue a different path. Now, with the recent crisis in the Ukraine, his powerful voice is more prophetic and necessary than ever.The Gospel of Peace by Father John DearLong-time activist, author and teacher of nonviolence, Father John Dear offers here the first ever commentary on the Synoptic Gospels from the perspective of active nonviolence, in the tradition of Gandhi and Dr. King. He walks through every line of the three synoptic Gospels pointing out Jesus’ practice and teachings of nonviolence each step of the way.
Future Titles for Reading and Discussion- A Song for Nagasaki Paul Glynn, S.M.

- Mohandas Ghandi: Essential Writings Rev. John Dear
