Giacomo da Viterbo al Tempo di Bonifacio VIII studi per il Vii Centenario della morte (Giacomo of Viterbo in the Time of Boniface VIII, Studies for the 7th Centenary of his Death)
edited by Pasquale Giustiniani and Gianpiero Tavolaro Centro Culturale Agostiniano, Roma, 2011, 302 pagine
Giacomo of Viterbo ( †1308) was, undoubtedly, one of the great masters of the medieval theological school of the Augustinians. Seven hundred years after his death, the Augustinian Cultural Center of Rome and the Augustinian community of Viterbo wished to render him homage through a series of study days and other religious and cultural events.
The contributions of the conference speakers appear in the present volume. In their research, the role of Blessed Giacomo da Viterbo in the wide panorama of 13th Century theology and culture is amply brought to light, together with the friars contributions to science, to the life of the Church and to the papacy of his time. Among the many authors included here are: Rocco Ronzani OSA, Vittorino Grossi OSA, Mario Mattei OSA. 1 auGustinian family 2 a s

The Kukamas population of Nauta
The little town of Nauta is one of the few founded by an indige - nous person of the Kukama com - munity, the notable Manuel Pacaya, who founded the town in 1830. For this reason Nauta is a town fundamentally Kukama, as the jour - nalist Tello has pointed out, in spite of the presence of Mettici and mem - bers of other indigenous peoples. Access to the river is funda - mental to the life of the Kukama, not only as a mode of transport, but also for the various stages of agricul - ture, from planting to harvesting, and above all for fishing; all of these activities will now be significantly limited.

St. Augustine’s ‘Open Place’, which began in 1994, is a retreat center with a difference. It lies in the heart of the old quarter of the city of Incheon which is the port city to the capital of Seoul. There are many splendid retreat houses in Korea but all in the countryside. This retreat house was built with an eye to serve those who live in the inner city poorer parishes. It is built on the small area of some 580 square meters, hemmed in by houses and opposite a large girls’ high school humming with energy. The center covers the whole site so a little roof garden was built on the second story outside the chapel to give a meditative focus and a chance to find some inner silence as there is little outer silence in the neighborhood. There are no beds and so groups who stay overnight sleep on the floor of two multi-purpose rooms with younger groups sleeping twenty persons to a room on roll-up sleeping pads. While most groups are small, numbering about thirty, up to a hundred can be accepted for a one-day retreat. The meals are prepared by volunteers and this helps keep the price low. It was called the ‘Open Place’ because anyone seeking confession, counseling or private prayer can go in through an open door leading from the street and take the steps to the sec ond floor garden and chapel. In addition, there are 6 rooms for private retreatants on the third floor. The fourth floor is home to the friars who presently number three. In 2006 an attractive oval-shaped hall was added to the rear of the center on 504 square meters of land. This is dedicated to St. Rita and caters to larger groups of up to 200 for lectures and liturgy. In this way the Augustinians in Korea have endeavored to serve God among the humble ones of the Gospel. 23
