DOMINICAN PREACHING ACROSS GENERATIONS
Dominican Preaching Network North American Colloquium
Weber Retreat and Conference Center, Adrian, Michigan
16–19 October 2019
By Beata Tiboldi, OP (Peace)
As the leaves changed their colors in mid-October in Adrian, Michigan, 57 Dominican Sisters, Nuns, Friars, Laity, Associates, and friends gathered at the Dominican Preaching Network’s North American Preaching Colloquium to join in conversation about passing the torch of preaching.
Fr. Anthony Gittins, CSSp, from Catholic Theological Union set the tone in his presentation “Evangelization in the Mission of Jesus and in Our Mission as Church” by outlining the core of evangelization in how Jesus lived the mission: through proclamation, witness, dialogue, liberation, encounter, table-fellowship, foot-washing, and crossing boundaries. It is our responsibility, Fr. Gittins said, to participate in the mission of God.
