The November issue of the NW NJPN E BULLETIN focuses on the forthcoming COP30 in Brazil and the genocide in Sudan with articles and prayers for both. Priest and prophetic theologian Rev’d Jon Swales challenges us with a poem for climate justice and Seattle-based writer Cameron Bellm offers a powerful reflection on violence and hope following the recent assassination of American political activist Charlie Kirk.  Johnny Zokovitch, the former executive director of Pax Christi USA, has written a personal reflection on ‘Naming our Fears and Surviving Together’ based on his experience on a Pax Christi retreat.  Regular contributor Ian Linden looks at Pope Leo’s recent Apostolic Exhortation on the Love of the Poor, Dilexi Te, and wonders how many parishes or dioceses will promote this document.  Is Catholic Social Teaching still the church’s ‘best kept secret’?  You might consider joining the webinar on Dilexi Te with expert speakers or perhaps promoting it in your parish bulletin – see page 12.  We also print the text of Professor Linden’s Middlesbrough J & P Commission Storey Lecture given on 8 May this year on the theme Option for the Poor: Foundations & Spirituality.
