Fall Assembly: With
the presidential election approaching, this year's Fall Assembly
will offer insights into the issues from a faith base that might
inform your vote. Sr. Simone Campbell, SSS, Executive Director
of NETWORK, the Catholic Social Justice Lobby,
will be presenting "Faithful Citizenship: Catholic Social Teaching,
American Realities, and Election 2008." Join us on Saturday,
October 4th, at Fordham University Lincoln Center Campus. The
day will begin with our annual general Assembly meeting for all
members and interested friends. Learn what's been happening in PCMNY over the past year and help move us forward. After
lunch, participate in an interactive program that will help you
reconcile your faith with your civic responsibilities. You may
come to all or part of the day. Registration brochures are now
available.

The Dialogue Project:
In the spirit of our
last three years of interfaith events, we are pleased to invite you
to an interactive presentation by The Dialogue Project on Thursday,
November 6th, at St. Joseph’s in Greenwich Village.
Doors will open at 6:30 PM. A
Palestinian Christian,
Muslim, and Jewish American/Israeli will demonstrate active
listening and reflection as they explore “hot words-topics” and
their personal connections to
Israel
and Palestine. They will then engage the audience in a dialogue
with each other about what we mean by the word peacemaker. Contact
the office or check this website for registration information as the
date draws closer.
