Bombs away, seminarians away, and other news

Stained glass artist illustrates congregants' faith
Interview of Rich Buswell. From the Aug. 4, 2007 editions of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. ("Q. What is changing in the worship space design industry?" Were the rose windows at Chartres produced by people who thought of themselves as part of a "worship space design industry"?)

Religion briefs
From the Aug. 4, 2007 editions of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. ("Lanterns for Peace, the city's annual commemoration of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, will start at 5:30 p.m. today..." Planned events do not include commemorative toasts with Nog-a-sake!)

If you miss that, there's Blessing the Bombs: Commemorating the nuclear holocaust, August 7th Catholics for Peace and Justice Prayer Gathering at St. Joe's in Wauwatosa ("All people want peace. It is only governments and war departments that promote war and slaughter." Aren't the people in the government and "war departments" people?)

Wisconsin Institute of Judaism
August 9-12, 2007 at Lake Delton, Wisconsin ("A truly Amazing weekend of Learning, Recreation & Relaxation! ...With fun programming for the kids too!" Sounds like Tommy Bartlett's Rabbi World!)

Seminarian Gathering:
Delivers a week of fellowship, by Ben Emmel, Catholic Herald, Madison. ("...provided an opportunity for the 29 men studying for the priesthood to come together as a community, and take a needed break from school and parish assignments." Twenty-nine is as many as the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.)
