Research Fellow Debora Tonelli and Senior Fellow Katherine Marshall will each participate in an international conference on the comparative perspectives of reconciliation, hosted by Reset Dialogues and the Faculty of Islamic Studies at the University of Sarajevo from September 15 to 16. Tonelli will speak in a session on framing reconciliation while Marshall will deliver the keynote address.

In a new Commonweal essay, former Georgetown University president Rev. Leo J. Donovan, S.J., uses Senior Fellow Paul Elie's July 2022 article about creating closer encounters as a launching point for a deeper conversation about lurking notions of synodality in Pope Francis' Fratelli Tutti.

Senior Fellow Katherine Marshall has been appointed as a committee member to the U.S. Agency for International Development's re-established Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid. The committee’s new membership is comprised of internationally recognized leaders representing a broad range of sectors who will support the agency's mission and goals by advising on key development challenges.

Published in Theological Studies, this article by Senior Fellow Rev. David Hollenbach, S.J., sketches the global ethic proposed by Hans Küng and discusses how Pope Francis’ writings on a culture of encounter help advance it.
