SUMMARY:CLASA discussions on nonviolence with Ben Peters
DESCRIPTION:The Carney Latin American Solidarity Archive (CLASA) invites th
 e UDM community to two free discussions on nonviolence on Wednesday\, Sept
 . 23\, featuring Ben Peters of University of St. Joseph. Both talks will t
 ake place in the Briggs Building\, Room 317.\n\nThe first presentation beg
 ins at 4 p.m. Peters will be joined by Karen Donahue\, RSM\, a longtime me
 mber of the Mercy Justice Team\, and UDM Senior Adjunct Instructor Michael
  Hovey. Donahue will discuss how the Sisters of Mercy gradually changed th
 eir focus from service to addressing the five Social Concerns that were at
  the root of many contemporary problems and how nonviolence intersects wit
 h the other four Social Concerns. Peters will then present "Artisans of Pe
 ace: A Counter-tradition of Nonviolence in US Catholicism." The term "arti
 sans of peace" came from a recent Vatican statement at the U.N. calling fo
 r peace in our war-torn world.\n\nA second talk at 7:30 p.m. will spotligh
 t Peters' new book\, Catholic Pacifist: The Long and Lonely Quest of Gordo
 n Zahn. The discussion will explore the life of Zahn\, a Catholic peace ac
 tivist\, who promoted the life story of Franz Jägerstätter\, the Austria
 n who was beheaded in 1942 for refusing to fight in Hitler's army. Jägers
 tätter was beatified in 2007\, just before the death of Zahn. Hovey\, who
  worked with Zahn during his time with Pax Christi USA Center on Conscienc
 e and War\, will also participate in the conversation.\n\nBoth events are 
 cosponsored by CLASA\, Gesu Peace &amp\; Justice Committee and the Office 
 of Mission Integration.\n\nFor more information contact CLASA Director Gai
 l Presbey at presbegm@udmercy.edu or 313-993-1124.
