ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS
"Discussion of critical issues" is a key element of Casa Esther's work. Whether these discussions are of humanity's collective journey, the state of our One Common Home, of social justice or theological study - all are important. Also important is how we serve the local community under the inspiration of the Catholic Worker traditions.
Discussions range through all these subjects - and MORE:
Peace Advocacy
Immigration
Prison Ministry
Denuclearization
Black Lives Matter
Indigenous Rights
Two continuing efforts which Casa Esther hosts are key to significant Roundtable Discussions. One local and one National.
Locally, we host the area Pax Christi group in conversation and actions , which support peacemaking dialog and action. Pax Christi is the international organization Roman Catholic peacemakers.
Annually, we co-sponsor the National online web series on non-violence and peacemaking in conjunction with numerous colleges. These webinars feature world-renown presenters and provide a platform for students to engage in peacemaking studies.
