To One Kneeling Down No Word Came
December 27, 2022 | Jonathan Chan
For the last four years, I have been haunted by the voice of R. S. Thomas. An Anglican priest who tended to a parish in Wales, Thomas was also a poet. His poems have stood as lodestones in the corners of my mind each time I have prayed, or sat down to write a poem of my own.
Faith, War, and Marxism in Leon Morin, Prêtre
Dec 5, 2020 | By Bella Gamboa JE ‘22
I did not expect a film watched for class to be a spiritually rich experience, but Leon Morin, Prêtre (Leon Morin, Priest), a 1961 film by Jean-Pierre Melville, was in equal parts visually striking, well-paced, and theologically compelling.
