Seton Hall University announces the presentation of "Uncaging Our Minds and Opening the Ears of Our Hearts: Thomas Merton's Legacy for Contemplative Living."
Not a surprising event at a Roman Catholic institution for higher learning. What is noteworthy is the introduction of the presenter, Distinguished Guest Lecturer Jonathan Montaldo.
"Montaldo will deliver a critical retrospective on major elements of Thomas Merton's legacy for readers in the 21st century. He will examine Merton's personal and compassionate transparency to his life's cohorts in his autobiographical writing, and his monastic life's tendency toward developing a universal inclusiveness -- Catholicity -- with all other beings."
Editor's note: Catholicity...just in time for globalocity. Modern day interfaith advocates such as Tony Campolo continue to carry Merton's torch of mystical unity among all religions.
