Join the author, Fr David Neuhaus SJ, at the Jesuit Institute for the launch of "Conquest or Leaven", a collection of personal reflections rooted in Johannesburg, Palestine, and Israel.
This book addresses the urgent question, "How do I live over there?", especially in light of the ongoing genocide and the tragic and catastrophic reality of the conflict. The book challenges the status quo—the idea that violence, occupation, and genocide "needs to be this way" because "it's always been like this". Instead, it proposes the alternative path of Leaven: a quiet, almost invisible power that raises society to the values of equality, justice, and peace.
Inspired by the dismantling of the apartheid system in South Africa, the author offers hope for a "horizon that opens up beyond the walls of separation". Looking forward to seeing you there on 25th November at 18:30 pm.
