A two part meditation, part ii: of monks and militants

April 20th, 2011 by Charles Cameron

I note with sadness today the death of Tim Hetherington, photo-journalist and co-director of the film Restrepo, together with that of his colleague Chris Hondros, in Misrata, Libya. Their cameras, and those of others like them, brought and will bring the grimness of war home, into the living rooms of peace.

    Charles, Wow! What a beautiful post! I spent part of my weekend reading comparative ancient Hebrew law (comparing Exodus with other books of the Pentateuch and other OT books)—including the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi…I like the Hebrew code better:)) I’ll come back tomorrow, but this is a keeper! Cordially

    A grand slam post. Bravo!

    Your description of Fr. de Chergé reminded me of the story of Father Maximilian Kolbe.
