Oblate Meetings

Annual Summer Retreat 2008

Doing Justice and Loving Kindness

Directed by Dr. Bernard Evans

The retreat will develop the theme that living the Christian life necessarily means being engaged in efforts to transform our world into a place that more closely reflects the love and mercy, the justice and peace of God. Those efforts begin in our worship and extend to every aspect of our lives. As Christians we are called to live out the social teachings of our church. As people associated with the Rule of Benedict we are blessed with a source of unique guidance and inspiration for the task.

Dr. Bernard Evans is on the faculty at Saint John’s University where he occupies the Virgil Michel Ecumenical Chair in Rural Social Ministries. Evans teaches courses on Christian social ethics, environmental ethics and ministry in rural communities. As part of the mission of the Virgil Michel Chair, Dr. Evans provides support to other schools, churches and programs that share an interest in social ministry.

Contact the Oblate Office soon for more information about accommodations for the annual retreat that will take place on campus, 11-15 July 2008.
