Free Soldiers of Conscience DVD for First Five Members to Respond The filmmakers of the award-winning documentary Soldiers of Conscience are thrilled to share their film with the Education for Justice community. To show their appreciation, the first five EfJ members to email them at info@socfilm.com will receive a free copy of the DVD! Read the EfJ Film Discussion Guide or check out the film's website. New Director Search Begins At the end of July, I will conclude my term as Director of Education for Justice. As many of you know, I have been part-time director in addition to my adjunct responsibilities at Georgetown University. As much as I have loved supporting you and your vital work in ministry and Catholic Social Teaching, it is time for a full-time director to lead EfJ. Thank you very much for your support, your wonderful feedback and suggestions, and most importantly, the work you do for all those who are vulnerable. As always, this posting offers some great resources. Please take a moment to review them! If you are not already a member please join us now! If you have let your membership lapse please renew now! May God bless you and walk with you always, Kerry Kerry Danner-McDonald, Director kdanner@coc.org |
