Robert McClory is a respected Catholic journalist and author whose works include:
Turning Point: The Inside Story of the Papal Birth Control Commission (1997), and
As It Was in the Beginning: The Coming Democratization of the Church (2007).
Mr. McClory will relate his research on the early church to his experience with the Dutch Dominican theologians (NCR, Nov 2007, and Mar 2008), in the context of the transforming presence of IECs.
Themes for other sessions include "Women in Ministry," "Spirituality in Community," "Priesthood of the Faithful," "Young Catholics and IECs". Speakers and panelists are being contacted.
Good News!
Generous contributions from more than 20 communities made it possible for us to break even on the Gathering. Warm thanks to those who contributed. Additional funding will be needed to maintain our website and keep in touch with folks who have registered and made their contact information available.
If your community has not already discussed the opportunity to contribute, we hope you will do so now. We greatly appreciate the generosity of the communities who have already responded positively to our invitation.
