Religious Lawyering in a Liberal Democracy

I have just posted a few pieces at the sidebar which address many of our issues.  Religious Lawyering in a Liberal Democracy: A Challenge and an Invitation, co-authored with my colleague and the founder of Fordham's Institute on Religion, Law & Lawyer's Work, Russ Pearce, sets out a brief history of the “religious lawyering” movement, describes the positive contribution it brings to the legal profession, and addresses some of the challenges it poses for a culture of professionalism.  Your thoughts and critique most welcome!  Also up are the brief remarks from the Guild of Catholic Lawyers of the Archdiocese of New York Charles Carroll Award reception last week.  The room was full of hope for bringing ahead the kind of conversation we are working on, thanks to the presence of folks like Susan Stabile and Rob Vischer.  I have also posted a piece just out in Logos, the Journal of Catholic Thought and Culture published out of the University of St. Thomas - its a brief biography of Focolare founder Chiara Lubich, with some background on her approach to inter-religious dialogue.  Enjoy!  Amy
