The final press release for the 30th Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples- Meeting: a journey of knowledge along thirty years- is now issued. It looks at the theme- Knowledge Is Always An Event- through the words of the Holy Father:
"distance and absence of involvement are not ideals to chase in vain in the pursue of an "objective knowledge". Instead, the ideal to chase is the adequate involvement with the object."
The theme for next year's Meeting, which I hope to attend is That nature which pushes us to desire great things is the heart.
A deep diaconal bow to my dear friends Suzanne and Sharon for letting me know about this and for their unfailing witness.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
