14 November 2011
Greetings, NAAE Members, Many of us were in Allentown, PA for this year’s annual conference, which was graciously hosted by Rev. Dr. Christine Nelson and the staff of the Lehigh County Conference of Churches. An impressive group of scholars gave papers which stimulated our conversation on the theme “We Belong to One Another”, as we drew on the Porto Alegre 2006 statement, Called to be the One Church, which calls Christians and their churches to acknowledge their mutual responsibility to one another. |

+ In Memoriam - Margaret O'Gara +
|
Margaret O’Gara, Professor of Theology at the University of St. Michael’s College, entered the realm of eternal life on Thursday, August 16, at age 65, after suffering from cancer for two years.
The characteristic aim of Margaret’s 37 years of work as a theologian was to foster dialogue among Christians for the sake of overcoming divisions between the churches. Besides her teaching, research, writing, and extensive public lecturing, she was a member of official ecumenical dialogues in Canada, the United States, and at the international level. She also served as president of the North American Academy of Ecumenists and the Catholic Theological Society of America.
