Author James Douglass is scheduled to speak on Kennedy Assassination and the "void" at the center of the lone gunman stories.James Douglass will give a lecture on his new book from Orbis Books, “JFK and the Unspeakable” on Friday, June 19th, 7 PM at the College of St. Rose Hubbard Interfaith Sanctuary on Madison Avenue in Albany.
Douglass traces the “turning” of President John F. Kennedy from the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, right to the week of his death as he is transformed from a conventional Cold Warrior to someone determined to pull the world from the edge of apocalypse.
Douglass views Kennedy's change from a contemplative perspective, particularly attuned to the gave moral and spiritual matters at stake. President Kennedy, as it turns out, saw his mission in similar terms. Those who plotted his death were determined to kill the vision. Only by unmasking these forces of the “Unspeakable,” Douglass argues, can we free ourselves and out country to pursue that vision of peace.
Douglass has written four books on the theology of nonviolence, served as a theological advisor on the questions of nuclear was and conscientious objection to Catholic bishops at the Second Vatican Council in Rome and taught theology at the University of Notre Dame.
The event, cosponsored by the Justice Committee of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Albany Province and the Saratoga Peace Alliance, is requesting a $15 free will offering. No one will be turned away for an inability to pay.
