As part of our local commemoration of Pope Francis’ encyclical letter on the environment, which was published  in June of 2015, NMIPL and the Laudato Si Circle hosted a Zoom presentation by UNM Prof. Richard Wood.  “We tend to think of the prophets as railing angrily against social injustice, and this they did. But the great Jewish scripture scholar Abraham Heschel, in his classic work titled The Prophets, writes that though they burn with anger at injustice, anger is not the prophets’ central emotional experience. Their experience is equally rooted in God’s delight and in their own delight in God, which complements and flows alongside their anger,” said Dr. Wood.  Here are the videoand the full text of the presentation.
