A little bit of Oxford in River Forest

Dominican Friars at the 2009 March For Life in...
Dominicans dress well, do they not?

Latest from the Church Reporter:


(POSTED: 10/11/10) The amazing thing about the Rev. Timothy Radcliffe at Dominican U.-River Forest on Sept. 30 was that he was completely interesting and engaging. He was scripture prof at U. of Oxford, where he studied, there and in Paris. He’s past provincial for English Dominicans and past master (general) for the Dominicans worldwide. He gives retreats around the world, writes books on spirituality, etc. Who knew that he’d make a terrific talk-show host?

His talk was all about love, and a trifle airy at times, but this was a Caritas et Veritas lecture (Love & Truth), and anyhow he salted it with apt citations and anecdotes. It was easy listening.

As to questions, which do tend to be idiosyncratic and overly complicated, he demonstrated much aplomb.
