[TSSF-studies] Books for York

[Andy Wilkes]

Dear Fr David and all members,

Here are a few books which may be of interest for the bookstall at York, and for anyone else who is looking for a good read!

The Humility of God - A Franciscan Perspective by Ilia Delio OSF (St Anthony Messenger Press, 2005, ISBN 0-86716-675-4)

Franciscan Prayer by Ilia Delio OSF (St Anthony Messenger Press, 2004, ISBN 0-86716-614-2)

Becoming Human by Jean Vanier (DLT, 1999, ISBN 0-232-52336-3)

Befriending the Stranger by Jean Vanier (DLT, 2005, ISBN 0-232-52598-6)

Both of Jean Vanier's books are relevent to the discussion about community. 

I am off to Egypt on Monday for a weeks Nile cruise, our first holiday abroad in 10 years of marriage. I shall take the 2 TSSF discussion papers on community with me and spend some time with them. Also on my return I am going to be working with L'Arche as a volunteer, so hopefully will be able to contribute more fully to the discussions about 'community' and the Third Order.

God Bless
Andy

  It's not that exciting really - nothing like as exciting as your Profession last week (are you still on a high?)

      Dear All

      Following Andrew Dotchin's suggestion here is a synopsis of the work. It has 14 session units as follows, each of which has the same structure as outlined in my previous note: viz:

      >From the Sources
      Introduction
      Survey
      Information
      REflections
      Further Readings

      The 14 units are devoted to:

      Francis, Clare and the Franciscan Family

      Witnesses of the Incarnation

      Travelling the Gospel Way:  Moving toward the Kingdom in the Church

      The Franciscan Mission

      To be Formed into Jesus Christ

      The Franciscan Evangelist: A Prayerful Missionary

      Franciscan Presence and Dialogue: Living with Diversity in a Pluralistic Society

      Peace-Making in a Culture of Violence

      Inculturation in a Franciscan Perspective

      The Economy and Global Reality from a Franciscan Perspective

      Relating as Franciscan Women and Men of Faith

      Brother Sun and sister Moon: A Franciscan View of the Environment

      The Continuing Franciscan Task in the Church

      Altogether a wide ranging and valuable resource. The material provided for Reflections is wide-ranging. for instance in the session "Moving toward the Kingdom in the Church" it is a short story by John Updike, with some good and pertinent questions to guide our reflections on the story in the context of the unit.

      In the right hands this could be used to arrange a whole programme of sessions for a Local Group ( or even an Area). It could also be used for personal reflection on the Franciscan Way. Its pedigree is an assurance of its intellectual credibility.
