America gives Sidney and Daniel Callahan the Matteo Ricci Award. Congratulations to them both, not least for their contributions to Commonweal too!
Here’s a great article about Dan by Paul Lauritzen.
Here’s a fascinating article by Dan and Peter Steinfels about Commonweal‘s earlier days.
And here’s a typically profound article by Sidney on Alzheimer’s Disease.
I already left a post some days ago on America’s page, congratulating not only the Callahans, but also America, for its superb choice. Now I should only add that both the choice and the naming of the award does honor to the great Matteo Ricci — everyone’s favorite Jesuit in the missionary field, and perhaps, for many, the favorite missionary.
