SUMMARY:War\, Peace and the Christian
DESCRIPTION:Human Dignity Reading Group\nEveryone knows that a “balance of terror” is a poor substitute for the true peace of human flourishing. Pope Paul VI said\, “No more war!\, war never again”. How can Christians help bridge the gap between the dire reality of actual and threatened military destruction and the Christian aspiration for the “peace which surpasses all understanding”? \nFor general background on the topic please see: \nLisa Sowle Cahill\, Love your Enemies: Discipleship\, Pacifism\, and Just War Theory\, (Minneapolis: Fortress Press\, 1994) \n  \nAll meetings will be held between 4 and 6pm in the Aquinas Room\, 17 Beaumont Street.  \n  \n23rd October 2019 \nJust War and the Commitment to Peace: This session explores the horror of modern warfare and its influence on changes in Catholic teachings relating to war and peace. \n\nBenedict XV\, To Peoples now at war and their rulers\, (1915)\nPaul VI’s Address to the United Nations\, 1965\nJohn Paul II\, Speech to the United Nations\, (1979)\n\nWhilst it is not essential to do so\, it might be useful to read: \n\nJohn XXIII\, Pacem in Terris\, (1963)\n\n  \n6th November 2019  \nDevelopment as Peace: This session will investigate the meaning behind Paul VI’s famous dictum ‘if you want justice\, work for peace’. \n\n Paul VI\, Populorum Progressio\, (1967)\n\n  \n20th November 2019  \nThe Human Person and the Nature of Peace: This session will explore the relationship between God’s plan for humanity and the need to pursue peace. \n\n Benedict XVI\, The Human Person and the Right to Peace\, (2007)\nFrancis\, No Longer Slaves\, But Brothers and Sisters\, (2015)\n\n  \n4th December 2019  \nThe Environment: during this session we will discuss the relationship between care for creation and peace. \n\nFrancis\, Laudato Si\, (2015)\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Las Casas Institute Annual Lecture - Isabella Tree: Wilding
DESCRIPTION:Isabella Tree:\nWILDING – the return of nature to a British farm\n \nIsabella Tree is an award-winning travel writer and author\, married to the conservationist Sir Charles Burrell. Together they have embarked on a daring wildlife experiment: the rewilding of Knepp Estate in West Sussex. \nForced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy Sussex clay was economically ruinous\, they decided to step back and let nature take over. By introducing free-roaming herbivores — proxies of the large animals that once roamed Britain— the Burrells’ degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again. In less than twenty years wildlife has rocketed and numerous endangered species have made Knepp their home. \nThe Knepp experience challenges conventional ideas about our past and present landscape\, and points the way to a wilder\, richer future — a countryside that benefits farming\, nature and us. \n  \n
