As the SCO went to press, the funeral of Ronan Kerr (right), a constable for the Police Service Northern Ireland (PSNI), was set to take place at the Immaculate Conception Church in Beragh. He was killed when a bomb exploded under his car on Saturday afternoon. Dissident republicans, who are believed to be deliberately targeting Catholic officers in order to try to deter them from joining the PSNI, have been blamed for the weekend’s attack in Omagh’s Highfield estate, which killed the 25-year-old policeman.

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.

Letters to a Black Catholic Priest: Thomas Merton, Fr
Letters to a Black Catholic Priest: Thomas Merton, Fr. August Thompson and the Civil Rights Movement Gregory K. Hillis Introduction1 I first learned about Fr. August Thompson one year ago when I was in Alexandria, Louisiana to teach a group of candidates for the permanent diaconate. I was leading the group in a discussion about the Catholic Church’s teaching on racism, and it was then that the students told me about Fr. Thompson, a retired black priest in the Diocese of Alexandria. While he is known to many in Merton circles, this was the first time I had heard of him. I learned from the students that Fr. Thompson was an important figure in the civil rights movement in Louisiana, that he himself experienced oppression even from white Catholics, and that he spoke out against this oppression in a published interview with the civil rights leader John Howard Griffin. Moreover, I learned from one of the students that Fr. Thompson was friends with Thomas Merton, though he could not tell me much more about their relationship beyond that. When I returned to the office the following Monday, I went up to the Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine University, where I teach. Sure enough, from out of the many files containing Merton’s correspondence, the director pulled a file containing letters exchanged between Merton and Thompson between 1963 and 1968. From these letters, I learned that the two met in October 1963, and that Thompson turned to Merton for advice about a number of issues over a five-year period until Merton’s untimely death at the end of 1968.
