This is a wonderful reflection by my student Susan Shields. She attended the “Society of Race, Ethnicity and Religion” in Chicago and had a terrific experience. Here is her story.

‘Puerto Rico is a beautiful island with lakes, rivers, mountains, rainforests and of course picturesque beaches. I received a warm welcome at the airport in San Juan: 92 degrees with 74% humidity. Despite the hot, humid weather conditions, I went with eagerness to explore the culture, history, and tradition of Puerto Rico and reflect upon theological education in light of Hispanic theology.’ Link

I endorsed a wonderful new book, In the Beginning was the Spirit, by Diamuird O’Murchu MSC. This is O’Murchu’s short blog about his new book.

It is a multi-disciplinary project, seeking truth through inter-disciplinary dialogue. Continue reading
