I don’t know what to say.

Today I learned that the two pastors killed in El Salvador (see entry below) were hosts to two of my friends, Emily and Rachel, when they went to Jayaque on their church accompaniments for our liberation theology class. Of course that makes it more personal, more real.
It is also hitting me that this could happen to any of our friends in El Salvador… any of those I know who are working for justice and therefore threatening the political and economic systems.
I don’t really have time to write, but I wanted to give this update.
I talked to Emily tonight and she raised many questions for me. What does it mean to be a Christian in this world and how do we deal with something like this? How are we supposed to respond? What does solidarity mean? And where is God?

Hello
I’ve just uploaded two rare interviews with the Catholic activist Dorothy Day. One was made for the Christophers [1971]–i.e., Christopher Closeup– and the other for WCVB-TV Boston [1974].
Day had begun her service to the poor in New York City during the Depression with Peter Maurin, and it continued until her death in 1980. Their dedication to administering to the homeless, elderly, and disenfranchised continues with Catholic Worker homes in many parts of the world.
Please post or announce the availability of these videos for those who may be interested in hearing this remarkable lay minister.
They may be located here:
