Explore the latest issue of Jesuits & Friends

July 9, 2024

In this summer issue of Jesuits & Friends we look at the partnerships that make our mission possible. For example, Jesuit Missions UK introduces us to the Xavier Network, a global network of like-minded counterparts helping to bring development projects to life in India, Myanmar and East Africa, as well as other locations where the need is greatest.

Lay partners and alumni are also a vital part of the global Jesuit network, and there are articles about both in this issue. Other articles include an equine take on the life of St John Ogilvie SJ and the Jesuit connection to D-Day.

In our lead article, we ask the crucial question, from a Jesuit perspective: What should the priorities of the new UK government be? Here is a short excerpt from that article:

“Pope Francis gives us a different vision of how to build a society in which we can all flourish, calling us to welcome women, men and children who are forced to flee their homes. And he rightly notes that how we respond to refugees says a something important about who we are. Our society appears increasingly divided by a politics that scapegoats outsiders.”
