Campbell Lectures

Friends:

I was honored to give the annual Campbell Lectures for the
Lehigh Valley [PA] Conference of Churches last Thursday. This was the 19th
year for the lectures--predecessors included Cardinals Avery Dulles and Walter Kasper.

I spoke on Spiritual Ecumenism.
The assembled ecumenists were very affirming and asked a lot of good questions.
A couple of those in attendance were formerly here in Washington but now are serving in Pennsylvania.

My presentations will be available through the website of the Conference.

During the day, I had an opportunity to tour the facilities of the Conference of Churches.
I was impressed by their extensive ministries to the poor--programs included efforts in affordable housing, employment, food distribution....

Peace,
John
