JMT Newsletter - May 2022
Welcome
Welcome to the May 2022 Journal of Moral Theology Newsletter.
Most of our readers are professors in the Global North who ended their academic year this month. I hope your year ended well and wish you have a great summer, full of new and old encounters.
This month, I highlight new Editorial Board Members in our team and invite you to consider submitting your article on moral theology for our open issue that will be published next January.
The Gospel proposes the divide charity that wells up in the heart of Christ and that generates a pursuit of justice that is at once a hymn of fraternity and of solidarity, an impetus to the culture of encounter. The wisdom of the way of life of the original peoples –for all its limitations – encourages us to deepen this desire.
Pope Francis, Querida Amazonia, no. 22.
