Event to Honor 10th Anniversary of Nouwen's Death

July 25th, 2005

SAVE THE DATE!

‘I have always been fascinated by these wagon wheels with their wide rims, strong wooden spokes, and big hubs. These wheels help me understand the importance of a life lived from the centre. When I move along the rim, I can reach one spoke after the other, but when I stay at the hub, I am in touch with all the spokes at once.’
--Henri Nouwen, Here and Now (1994).

On 18-20 May 2006, the University of Saint Michael’s College, Regis College, L’Arche Daybreak and the Henri Nouwen Societies of Canada and the United States will host “Turning the Wheel: Henri Nouwen and Our Search for God” to honor the tenth anniversary of Nouwen’s death. This event will include a one-day gathering at L’Arche Daybreak in Richmond Hill and a two-day symposium on the campuses of Regis College, Saint Michael’s College, and the University of Toronto.

Look for a preliminary list of keynote speakers and a call for symposium proposals—papers (approx. 20-30 minutes), panels and/or workshops exploring the relevance of Nouwen’s spiritual vision in the 21st century—by September 2005.

Please consider joining us as we honor the life and legacy of one of the great spiritual masters of the 20th century.
