Building peace is focus of summer institute at SCU
The national annual Social Action Summer Institute, hosted by the San Jose Diocese, will take place at Santa Clara University, Aug. 1-4, focusing on peacebuilding in the 21st century.
Speakers include Scott Appleby, director of the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame, and Jesuit Father John Baumann, founder of Oakland-based PICO. Appleby will explore the “Spiritual and moral imagination of Catholic peacebuilding” and Father Baumann will discuss faith-based community organizing. Other speakers will focus on the foundations of Catholic social teaching, biblical justice, becoming a peacebuilder, and Hispanics and social ministry.
Joe Grant of JustFaith Ministries will close the institute with a plenary session entitled, “Sent into the eye of the storm: Engaging spirituality for these times.” More information: www.catholicroundtable.org
