Pax Christi USA Bishop-President Gabino Zavala Elevates Call to Abolish War
On July 30-31, 2007 at the University of Notre Dame, a Mennonite-Catholic Theological Conference entitled “Called Together To Be Peacemakers” gathered together Christians from various countries.
From 1998-2003, the Mennonite World Conference (MWC) and the Vatican conducted a first-ever international dialogue, and the following year released their final report, Called Together to be Peacemakers. In neither tradition, however, are the dialogue and its historic results well known. Bringing together top Mennonite and Catholic theologians and ecclesial leaders, this Notre Dame conference was designed to stimulate scholarly interest in this important document, while also providing resources for Catholic and Mennonite ecclesial communities to study and discuss the text in an informed way.
Pax Christi USA Bishop-President Gabino Zavala participated in the “Called Together to Be Peacemakers” conference at Notre Dame and in his talk entitled, “Our Commitment to Peace,” he elevated the call to abolish war. Click here to watch a streaming video of Bishop Zavala’s presentation.
