  • The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life: a Practical Implementation
    udiesinthe Spirituality of Jesuits 1 4199? The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life: A Practical Implementation . LIBRARY 5^ 1 L. Patrick Carroll, S.J. 22/1 January 1990 3N COLLEGE THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY A group of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. The Seminar studies topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces. This is done in the spirit of Vatican II's recommendation to religious institutes to recapture the original inspiration of their founders and to adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material which it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, laity, men and/or women. Hence the Studies, while meant especially for American Jesuits, are not exclusively for them. Others who may find them helpful are cordially welcome to read them. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR L. Patrick Carroll, S.J., is pastor of St. Leo's Parish in Tacoma, Washington, and superior of the Jesuit community there. John A. Coleman, S.J., teaches Christian social ethics at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. R. Emmett Curran, S.J., teaches history at Georgetown University in Washington. James J. DiGiacomo, S.J., teaches theology at Regis High School in New York. Robert N. Doran, S.J., is one of the editors of the complete works of Bernard Lonergan and teacher of systematic theology at Regis College, the Jesuit School of Theology in Toronto.

  • The Right to Peace, Which Occurred on 19 December 2016 by a Majority of Its Member States
    In July 2016, the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations in Geneva recommended to the General Assembly (UNGA) to adopt a Declaration on the Right to Peace, which occurred on 19 December 2016 by a majority of its Member States. The Declaration on the Right to Peace invites all stakeholders to C. Guillermet D. Fernández M. Bosé guide themselves in their activities by recognizing the great importance of practicing tolerance, dialogue, cooperation and solidarity among all peoples and nations of the world as a means to promote peace. To reach this end, the Declaration states that present generations should ensure that both they and future generations learn to live together in peace with the highest aspiration of sparing future generations the scourge of war. Mr. Federico Mayor This book proposes the right to enjoy peace, human rights and development as a means to reinforce the linkage between the three main pillars of the United Nations. Since the right to life is massively violated in a context of war and armed conflict, the international community elaborated this fundamental right in the 2016 Declaration on the Right to Peace in connection to these latter notions in order to improve the conditions of life of humankind. Ambassador Christian Guillermet Fernandez - Dr. David The Right to Peace: Fernandez Puyana Past, Present and Future The Right to Peace: Past, Present and Future, demonstrates the advances in the debate of this topic, the challenges to delving deeper into some of its aspects, but also the great hopes of strengthening the path towards achieving Peace.

  • Resource Guide on Nuclear Disarmament for Religious Leaders
    RESOURCE GUIDE ON nuclear disarmament FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND COMMUNITIES RESOURCE GUIDE ON nuclear disarmament FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND COMMUNITIES Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. — J. Robert Oppenheimer, Director of the Manhattan Project, which created the first atom bomb, quoting the Bhagavad Gita as he witnessed the atom bomb test at Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945 When scientific power outruns spiritual power, we end up with guided missiles and misguided men. — Martin Luther King, Jr. Inside cover: Baker Test, Marshall Islands, July 25, 1946. Photo: U.S. Department of Defense. CATASTROPHIC IMPACT OF NUCLEAR TESTS ON HUMAN HEALTH Now we have this problem of what we call “jelly-fish babies.” These babies are born like jelly-fish. They have no eyes. They have no heads. They have no arms. They have no legs. They do not shape like human beings at all. When they die they are buried right away. A lot of times they don’t allow the mother to see this kind of baby because she will go crazy. It is too inhumane. — Darlene Keju-Johnson, Director of Family Planning 1987–1992, Marshall Islands, on the impact of U.S. nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Religions for Peace (RfP) would like to express its gratitude and appreciation to the Norwegian Min- istry of Foreign Affairs and Rissho Kosei-Kai for their years of generous support and partnership in RfP’s education and advocacy program to mobilize religious leaders and their constituencies around a credible, cohesive and bold advocacy and action agenda for peace and shared security, particularly in the area of nuclear disarmament.

  • The Case of Shia Muslims
    ajiss31-2_ajiss 3/26/2014 8:07 AM Page 153 Conference, Symposium, and Panel Reports The Role of Education in Implementing Social Justice: The Case of Shia Muslims In honor of World Day of Social Justice, on February 24, 2014, Shia Rights Watch and American University held the first-ever conference devoted to pre- senting new paradigms for exploring how the rights of the minority Shia Mus- lim community can be protected against such entrenched realities as subordination, injustice, violence, discrimination, and marginalization. Social scientists define minority as a culturally, ethnically, religiously, or racially dis- tinct group that coexists with, but is subordinate to, a more dominant group. This subordinancy, the chief defining characteristic of any minority, has noth- ing to do with numbers, a fact perhaps most vividly illustrated by South Africa under apartheid (c. 1950-91). The conference, held at American University, was cosponsored by the Mohammed Said Farsi Chair of Islamic Peace. Well-known and high caliber policymakers, professors, and researchers shared their findings in order to offer solutions designed to foster peace, tolerance, and religious freedom for this group and the regions in which they reside. In his capacity as the first occupant of the endowed Mohammed Said Farsi Chair of Islamic Peace as well as the founder of the university-wide Center for Global Peace, Abdul Aziz Said (School of International Service, American University) welcomed everyone. He remarked that peace is far more than the absence of war, that it is, in fact, inclusive of social justice, eco- logical sustainability, sustainable economics, and cultural diversity (peace as the absence of structural violence).
