Ministry of Reconciliation

Fr. Robert Schreiter, C.PP.S.

September 21, 2017

In the light of the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr’s death and the forth coming US Bishops’ pastoral letter on racism, the diocese has invited Fr. Robert Schreiter to give us a Presbyteral Day on the Ministry of Reconciliation.

Fr. Robert Schreiter, C.PP.S., is a priest in the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. He holds the Vatican Council II Chair in Theology at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He has written widely in issues of faith and culture. In addition, he has been involved in the ministry of reconciliation for the past twenty years, having worked on all six continents and in the South Pacific. He served in the Reconciliation and Peace Building Work Group of Caritas Internationalis for twelve years. Among his books are Reconciliation: Mission and Ministry in a Changing Social Order (1992), The Ministry of Reconciliation: Spirituality and Strategies (1998) and (with Knud Jorgensen) Mission as Ministry of Reconciliation (2015).
