College of Fellows

Dear Students and Staff,

As you are likely aware, the College of Fellows will be convening tomorrow, Thursday, May 21, at 2pm at DSPT. Kevin Starr, Librarian Emeritus of the State of California, historian and Professor at USC, Ned Dolejsi, Executive Director of the California Catholic Conference, Velma Richmond, Shakespeare scholar and emeritus professor, and André Delbecq, Professor of Management at Santa Clara University and former Dean of the American Academy of Management, will each give an autobiographical account of the way in which what they are calling a “Catholic imagination” and view of the world has informed and continues to inform their experience, highlighting the differences that exist between a Catholic and non-Catholic view of the world. After each of the presentations there will be a period for comment and discussion. The desire is that next year more of the Fellows will offer reflections of their own, ultimately culminating in the publication of a book that compiles these pieces in a compelling way. A reception will follow.

Cardinal Stafford, Major Penitentiary of the Catholic Church, John T. Noonan Jr., Judge of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Barbara Elliott, Founder of the Center for Urban Renewal in Houston, Texas, Rick Gallagher, Leader of Cancer Control Research at the British Columbia Cancer Agency, and Michael Naughton, professor and Director of the John A. Ryan Institute for Catholic Social Thought at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, will also be in attendance.

I would be very grateful for your presence at this event tomorrow. In addition, I hope to see you on Friday at our Baccalaureate Mass (10 Am at St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Berkeley) and at our Commencement Exercises (3 Pm at DSPT).

Sincerely

Rev. Michael Sweeney, O.P.
President
Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology,

Free Movie Pre-Screening of The Stoning of Soraya M

The Maximus Group is facilitating invitations to the pre-release screenings of a new film which comes out on June 30th. Based on a true story, The Stoning of Soraya M stars Jim Caviezel (The Passion of The Christ) and Academy Award nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog, The Nativity Story and The Exorcism of Emily Rose). The producers include Steve McEveety (The Passion and Braveheart), and John Shepherd (The American Carol and The Ultimate Gift). The musical score was composed by John Debney, the same composer for The Passion of The Christ.

The Stoning of Soraya M is set in 1986 Iran and centers on journalist, Sahebjam (Caviezel), whose car breaks down in a remote village. Here he enters into a conversation with Zahra (Aghdashloo), who relays to him the story of her niece, Soraya (Marnò) and the tragic ending of her arranged marriage to an abusive tyrant. The film is a powerful tale of a village’s persecution of an innocent woman and becomes both a daring act of witness and a compelling parable about mob rule. It is both a classic fable of good and evil and an inspiring tribute to those who are fighting against injustice around the world. The Stoning of Soraya M was a rousing runner-up to the Academy Award winning Slumdog Millionaire as the audience favorite at the Toronto Film Festival.

Please be advised that this is an adult film with serious content matter which includes a graphic depiction of stoning. It is rated R and you should not bring children.

We hope you can join us for either the San Francisco screening which is tomorrow night, Thursday May 21 at 7:00 p.m. at Landmark Embarcadero Center Cinemas (One Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, CA, 94111; 415-267-4893) or plan on attending the Los Angeles screening next week on Wednesday, May 27 at 7:00 p.m. at the Landmark Westside Pavilion (10850 West Pico Boulevard Los Angeles CA 90064; 310-470-0492).

You can register here www.CatholicScreenings.com for either of the screenings.

  The Novelist Who is Catholic of the Catholic Novelist? A Conversation with Writer Piers Paul Read
  Time: 7:30 p.m.
  Location: DSPT Classroom 1
  Is there such a thing as a novelist who happens to be Catholic? Is that something other than a Catholic novelist? St. Jerome had a dream in which he was accused of being more a follower of the Roman writer Cicero than of Christ. Can a writer be a novelist who happens to be Catholic without compromising the faith and becoming a purveyor of worldliness? Can a writer be a Catholic novelist without compromising the craft and becoming a propagandist? These and other issues will be addressed by renowned English novelist Piers Paul Read. Mr. Read has just published The Death of a Pope (Ignatius Press), a thriller involving a terrorist attempt to destroy the papacy. Read is a best-selling novelist, writer, and playwright with numerous popular books including Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors, Ablaze: The Story of Chernobyl, Alec Guinness: The Authorised Biography, The Templars, Monk Dawson, A Patriot in Berlin, Alice in Exile, and Hell and Other Destinations (Ignatius). He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a member of the Council of the Society of Authors, as well as an officer in the Catholic Writers' Guild of England and Wales. He received his BA and MA from Cambridge, and was awarded Ford and Harkness fellowships early in his career. His work has included dramatic non-fiction, novels, and screenplays, often focusing a journalistic eye on stories of tragedy and redemption. He has also written a number of television plays, and several of his novels have been filmed for cinema and television. He lives in London.

  GTU Foreign Language Exam

  Emmaus Road Initiative Session: Easter in the “Meantime” – “Do this in remembrance of me.”
  Time: 7:00 p.m.
  Location: DSPT Classroom 1
  As Enlightenment modernity has been gradually but relentlessly dissolving the sacramental sensibilities that are so indispensable to authentic Christian existence, post-Enlightenment post-modernity has been undermining our anthropological sensibilities. Without sacramental sensibilities we lose a sense of grace, and without Anthropological sensibilities we lose a sense of nature – human nature. Whatever particular tasks Christians may be called to undertake, their perennial task is to recognize and bear witness to the relationship between nature and grace – and between this world and the next. The Eucharist is where the Christian both participates in this mystery and is nourished for the work of witnessing to it. The Emmaus Road Initiative presentations are made by Gil Bailie, an author, lecturer, and the founder and president of the Cornerstone Forum. Visit http://www.test-cornerstone.org/VENUES/Berkeley-Dominican-School.html for information on the Emmaus Road Initiative.
  
  The Greening of Evangelical Christendom: How Green Should We Be?
  Time: 7:00 p.m.
