SUMMARY:Merton on Thursday\, Online Talk
DESCRIPTION:This is an online presentation of the talk originally planned for the UK Merton conference scheduled for April 2022 that was cancelled. \nGo to https://www.thomasmertonsociety.org.uk/ \nfor Zoom link details. \nIn his journal entry of April 15\, 1965\, Thomas Merton asks the question: ‘Where is our hope?’ He argues that if our hope is in a temporal and secular humanism of technological and political progress\, we will be participating in the stupidity and barbarism of the despoiling of God’s creation. \nFor Merton\, ‘our hope must be in God.’ For us in one of the wealthiest countries in the world\, this answer can all too easily be equated with Christian optimism. \nBut for the many people who live precarious lives\, not even knowing where the next meal will come from\, this question is meaningless – There is no hope in this world. The very structures and support that we in the affluent West take for granted are absent. The only hope can be in heaven\, in the riches of the world to come\, further embedding the view that they are never for the here and now. \nIf\, for Merton\, ‘the real root of Christian hope is the presence of the Risen Lord among us’ (Merton’s circular letter of Lent\, 1967)\, how might this be worked out in our lives\, in our communities\, in our world? \nSophfronia Scott. will deliver a workshop on Bearing Witness to Hope: Merton’s Reach for Simplicity
