InFormation 2018 No. 2 : Book Review, Building a Bridge, by Silas Henderson, SDS

InFormation Bulletins - InFormation 2018 No.2 Summer

" ... some critics attacked Martin for what they perceived to be a disregard for church teachings, while others opined that the book simply didn’t go far enough in naming and claiming a place within the Catholic Church or in speaking against out-of-date perspectives on sexuality and gender. The revised and expanded edition of Building a Bridge acknowledges these opposing viewpoints, but it goes a step further by including both Martin’s reflections on his conversations and encounters in the months following the publication of that first edition, as well as the voices of LGBT Catholics and their allies."

InFormation 2020 No. 2 : Courage for an Interim Time That Does Not Yet Know Its Name, by Bryan Massingale

InFormation Bulletins - InFormation 2020 No.2 Summer

"I offer 'the interim time' and 'a change of era' as apt descriptions of the season in which we live. I will sketch out several markers of the 'signs of the time,' that is, seismic developments or sites of disruption that illustrate how and where I see a 'change of eras' occurring, specifically looking at the phenomena of climate disruption, sexuality, and white nationalism as protean events that challenge established ways of thinking and being. I then will turn to the Christian tradition to retrieve its wisdom concerning courage as the grace and virtue needed as we live in the midst of this time of change and upheaval."
