Catholics, Quakers to meet on activism

Northern California Pax Christi is sponsoring a dialogue between Catholics and Quakers on the spiritual nurturing of peace activists, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Berkeley Friends Church, 1600 Sacramento St. in Berkeley.

Speakers will include Margery Post Abbott, the author of “A Certain Kind of Perfection: an Anthology of Evangelical and Liberal Quaker Writers”; Mary Doyle, social justice resource specialist for the Oakland Diocese; Franciscan Sister Mary Litell, who works with Capacitar, an intercultural network of people involved in healing, empowerment and social transformation, especially in the areas of poverty and violence; and Eric Moon, director of the American Friends Service Committee death penalty project.

Cost of the day is $15 and includes a soup lunch, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. To register, send checks payable to “Bay Area Pax Christi” to Donna Foley, 457 Maar Ave., Fremont, CA 94536. Further information: Gustavo Nystrom, (925) 551-8064; e-mail at BANystrom@sigmaxi.org.
