MARYKNOLL, NY, JUNE 7, 2007 � Father Albert Nolan, O.P., a South African Dominican priest and best-selling author, will speak at Maryknoll July 18, 2007 as part of the Maryknoll Speakers Series. The title of his lecture is �Jesus Yesterday and Today.�

Father Nolan played a significant role in the Church�s struggle against apartheid in his native country. That struggle formed the backdrop to his most famous book, Jesus Before Christianity, which was published by Orbis Books, Maryknoll�s publishing arm, and has sold 150,000 copies.

His new book, Jesus Today: A Spirituality of Radical Freedom, examines the spirituality of Jesus and its relevance today. His lecture at Maryknoll will offer a rare opportunity to meet one of the prophetic Christian voices of our time.

This is a very timely question. Deserting or doing the right thing?It is either we stand for what is right and take action or look the other way while many lives sink into more severe danger.For example let us take how many lives with HIV/AIDS were being assisted by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church..The Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC) has a vast network .Now one division's account is 61 million dollars short.The money just vanished.This particular money that is missing was supposed to be used for Ethiopian Orthodox Church involvement in HIV/AIDS prevention, care .Please call or write (EOC) at the following and make your concern heard.
