Interfaith panelists say environment is ‘an issue that affects all of us’
Christianity, Islam and Judaism may have different theology and doctrines, but there is one tenet these and other faith traditions hold in common: care for creation. This was made clear during the Interfaith Voices for the Earth: Our Common Home panel discussion on March 12 at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis. Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin served as one of the panelists. (Page 3)

Bust of Cardinal Ritter is unveiled at Irish coffee event
NEW ALBANY—When a crowd of about 50 gathered for the fourth annual Irish coffee lecture at the Cardinal Ritter Birthplace in New Albany on March 14, they were treated to more than the traditional Irish beverage. Dr. Cecilia A. Moore of the University of Dayton gave an energetic presentation on “Cardinal Ritter, Black Lives Matter, and Bridging the Racial Divide.” In the corner of the community room stood a surprise for those in attendance—a clay bust of New Albany native Cardinal Joseph E. Ritter by southern Indiana sculptor Guy Tedesco. (Page 7)
