Confronting racism in the Catholic Church and recognizing our diversity should be joyful work, say Marcia Lane-McGee and Shannon Wimp Schmidt in their new book, Fat Luther, Slim Pickin’s (Ave Maria Press). Their book weaves together U.S. history and the stories of notable Black Catholics with reflections on pop culture, family life, and liturgy to help readers understand Black culture and the work that needs to be done to address the sin of racism.
Geared toward young adults, this webinar, presented by Colleen Thomas, explores Contemplative Life, which encompasses a network of individuals and small faith communities committed to living the contemplative dimension of the Gospel. The common desire for Divine transformation, primarily expressed through a commitment to a daily Centering Prayer practice, unites our international, interdenominational community.
