The 2008 Annual Meeting of the Partnership for Global Justice will be held from April 24-26 at Xavier Center, Convent Station, NJ. Entitled "The Spirituality of Politics: Searching for the Global Common Good," the meeting will provide an examination of politics at its deepest level of serving the needs of peoples and earth as we choose leaders for the 21st century.
Keynotes will be delivered by Barbara Wall, PhD of Villanova University who focuses on political theory and Catholic Social Teaching; and Sister Pat Siemen, OP, JD, who currently serves as the Director of the Center for Earth Jurisprudence, a collaborative initiative co-sponsored by Barry and St. Thomas Universities.
Additionally, a panel from the United Nations will address the topic of Spirituality of Politics from their own point of view. Among the panelists is Archbishop Celestino Migliore, Representative of the Holy See to the United Nations.
The 5th Annual Justice Award will be presented to Dave Robinson and Pax Christi USA. Mr. Robinson is the Executive Director of Pax Christi USA, which strives to create a world that reflects the Peace of Christ by exploring, articulating and witnessing to the call of Christian nonviolence.
