Read an Excerpt
The Artist Alive: Explorations in Music, Art & Theology, by Christopher Pramuk (Winona, MN: Anselm Academic, 2019). Copyright © 2019 by Christopher Pramuk. All rights reserved. www.anselmacademic.org. Introduction Seeds of Awareness This book is inspired by an undergraduate course called “Music, Art, and Theology,” one of the most popular classes I teach and probably the course I’ve most enjoyed teaching. The reasons for this may be as straightforward as they are worthy of lament. In an era when study of the arts has become a practical afterthought, a “luxury” squeezed out of tight education budgets and shrinking liberal arts curricula, people intuitively yearn for spaces where they can explore together the landscape of the human heart opened up by music and, more generally, the arts. All kinds of people are attracted to the arts, but I have found that young adults especially, seeking something deeper and more worthy of their questions than what they find in highly quantitative and STEM-oriented curricula, are drawn into the horizon of the ineffable where the arts take us. Across some twenty-five years in the classroom, over and over again it has been my experience that young people of diverse religious, racial, and economic backgrounds, when given the opportunity, are eager to plumb the wellsprings of spirit where art commingles with the divine-human drama of faith. From my childhood to the present day, my own spirituality1 or way of being in the world has been profoundly shaped by music, not least its capacity to carry me beyond myself and into communion with the mysterious, transcendent dimension of reality.

Social Justice Themes in Literature
Social Justice Themes in Literature Access to natural resources Agism Child labour Civil war Domestic violence Education Family dysfunction Gender inequality Government oppression Health issues Human trafficking Immigrant issues Indigenous issues LGBTQ+ issues Mental illness Organized crime Poverty Racism Religious issues Right to freedon of speech Right to justice Social services and addiction POVERTY Title Author Summaries The Glass Castle Jeannette Walls When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. Angela’s Ashes Frank McCourt So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank’s mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank’s father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy — exasperating, irresponsible, and beguiling — does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Frank lives for his father’s tales of Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies. Buried Onions Gary Soto For Eddie there isn’t much to do in his rundown neighborhood but eat, sleep, watch out for drive-bys, and just try to get through each day. His father, two uncles, and his best friend are all dead, and it’s a struggle not to end up the same way.

In the Life of the Other Nicole Lapierre
1 In the Life of the Other Nicole Lapierre There are many ways and different reasons to enter into the life of the other. I would like first to evoke the case of some people who have changed their identity and their look, in order to experience dramatic life conditions and testify to denounce them. For example, John Howard Griffin who, in 1959 in the United States, had his skin darkened deliberately, with the help of a physician, in order to live in the skin of a black man (Griffin, 1962). Or the German journalist Günter Wallraff who, in the 1990, pretended to be a Turkish immigrant in Germany (Wallraff, 1985), or his French colleague Marc Boulet who became an untouchable in India (Boulet, 1994). Or again the French writer Anne Tristan who pretended to be an unemployed woman from Marseille, supporting the national Front (an extreme rightist party), which she joined, and where she was a kind of « submarine » (Tristan, 1987). Anne Tristan who, after that, took on a new identity of political asylum seeker, coming from Columbia to France (Tristan, 1993). This jump into life, identity or skin of the other reveal the violence of certain conditions or social situations. It also transgress the usual rules of sociological research or 2 journalistic inquiry. In order to launch into such an adventure, one has to be audacious and have strong ethical reasons. And also something which put you at risk : a peculiar background, a peculiar sensitivity and a peculiar personality. Let’s take, for example, John Howard Griffin. His background shows choices and curiosity of a very original spirit who is looking passionately for truth.

Thomas Merton on Racial Justice
God’s Messenger: Thomas Merton on Racial Justice Paul R. Dekar This article considers Thomas Merton’s correspondence during the 1960s with three African American civil rights activists: a priest, August Thompson (1926-2019), the musician Robert Lawrence Williams and the novelist James Baldwin (1924–1987).1 It also summarizes several articles by Merton on racial justice,2 highlighting the contribution by Merton to racism awareness work that scholars of social movements of the 1960s have tended to ignore.3 This relative lacuna contrasts with greater attention given other issues Merton addressed such as ecumenism, environmental justice, technology and the threat of nuclear war.4 1. Research for this presentation was funded by a 2018 Shannon Fellowship at the Thomas Merton Center, Bellarmine University, Louisville, KY, where Mark Meade and Paul Pearson gave invaluable help; Nancy Dekar, Allan McMillan and Ron Morissey read a draft of this paper, presented at the Sixteenth General Meeting of the International Thomas Merton Society at Santa Clara University in June 2019. 2. Original texts of relevant essays are found in Thomas Merton, Seeds of Destruction (New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1964) (subsequent references will be cited as “SD” parenthetically in the text) and Thomas Merton, Faith and Violence: Christian Teaching and Christian Practice (Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 1968) (sub- sequent references will be cited as “FV” parenthetically in the text); they are also found in Thomas Merton, Passion for Peace: The Social Essays, ed. William H. Shannon (New York: Crossroad, 1995). 3. See Todd Gitlin, The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage (New York: Bantam, 1987); Jo Freeman and Victoria Johnson, eds., Waves of Protest: Social Movements since the Sixties (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 1999); Barry Miles, Peace: 50 Years of Protest (Pleasantville, NY: Readers Digest, 2008).

Compassion and the Unspeakable*
Compassion and the Unspeakable* James W. Douglass C ompassion drew Thomas Merton into his encounter with the unspeakable. We continue to be blessed by that transforming encounter. I first wrote Merton in 1962 after reading in The Catholic Worker his Auschwitz commandant's soWoquy on the unspeakable, 'Chant to Be Used in Processions around a Site with Furnaces'. The final lines were a nuclear-age chant: 'Do not think yourself better because you burn up friends and enemies with long-range missiles without ever seeing what you have done.' The unspeakable had been spoken. He answered my letter quickly, and I his. Merton's compassion, understanding and encouragement helped sustain me through the next six years-three of them lobbying at Vatican II in Rome for a theology of peace, a year teaching at Bellarmine College in Louisville (when I shuttled visitors to his hermitage), and two years writing a book in the mountains of British Columbia. Merton critiqued my draft of The Nonviolent Cross chapter by chapter. 1 He never saw the final text. By then he was on his way to Bangkok, for a more profound encounter with the unspeakable. But in what sense? I love Thomas Merton's quote about the wilderness source of our transformation: 1t is in the desert of compassion that the thirsty land turns into springs of water, that the poor possess all things.' 2 I think Merton meant that in terms of real people, so let's begin this medita tion on compassion and the unspeakable with a poor, compassionate person who possesses all things.
