ELIZABETH HINSON-HASTY

THURSDAY September 25th at 7pm Carmichaels at 2720 Frankfort Ave   Carmichael's welcomes Bellarmine University professor Elizabeth Hinson-Hasty for a discussion of her new book, Dorothy Day for Armchair Theologians. If theology is about the real needs of real people, then Dorothy Day was one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century. Day's work and writing on behalf of the poor and oppressed provides eloquent testimony to the creativity and courage of her theological vision. Her journalism for the Catholic Worker and her advocacy for the women, ethnic minorities, the poor, and others come together to form a consistent theology of the church and its ministry to the world. Please join us in welcoming Dr. Hinson-Hasty to Carmichael's!

Sept 22 Tip: Read the poem "Peace Parenthetical (The Daniel Berrigan Weekend)"

Read the poem "Peace Parenthetical (The Daniel Berrigan Weekend)"

(The September 22 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)

Peace Parenthetical
(The Daniel Berrigan Weekend)

by Cozad Taylor 1982

Our tears longed to cut
Deep furrows in your face:
To mark you with crescents
Fertile below your eyes,
To set off messages
Parenthetic in your face,
To tell us, just us,
How to live our anxious lives.

(With hardly time for grace
you joined my meal, blessed
To bring forth strength and fear,
Ate a bite and pushed away your chair.)

Late we sat before you,
Row after row,
Awaiting exclamation or reclamation
Of our suburban lives.

But Sunday came
And then the rain
Ended our period of
Requited pain."

For most of his life, Ebrahim lied to people about who his father was. But a few years ago, he decided to go public with his story and offer himself as an example of someone who was raised by a fanatic yet came to embrace nonviolence.
