Special Days of Celebration - Summer/Fall 2010

Sunday, October 3, 2010
Visitors' Center
3:15 P.M.

Jim Douglas Jim Douglas,
Author and Catholic Activist
Catholic Worker House of Hospitality,
Birmingham, Alabama

Jim and his wife, Shelley, founded and live at the Catholic Worker House in Birmingham, Alabama.

Jim is a peacemaker and has been involved in civil disobedience, protesting Trident submarines and White Trains at Ground Zero in Washington.

He has written four books on Christian peacemaking theology, including The Nonviolent Coming of God (1991)

Jim's latest book is: JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters.

What does it mean to be transformed as president of the United States, at the edge of total nuclear war, into a peacemaker?

John F. Kennedy's turn toward peace, resulting in his assassination, provides a parable of the unspeakable for President Barack Obama and ourselves in the midst of our escalating war on terror.

Can we discover hope for our enlightenment and resurrection as one human family through the dark truths of Dallas?
