Former America editor to go to Woodstock center

Published: 2006-03-28

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Jesuit Father Thomas J. Reese, former editor of America magazine, is to return to Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University in Washington this July as a senior fellow. Father Reese was a senior fellow at Woodstock from 1985 until 1998, when he left to become editor of America, a New York-based national Catholic magazine run by the Jesuits. Following his resignation as editor last year he has been on sabbatical as a visiting scholar at Santa Clara University in California. At Woodstock, a Jesuit-sponsored theological think tank on religious and social issues, he will specialize in contemporary church issues, religion and politics, and ethics and public policy. "Woodstock is an ideal setting for scholarly reflection on contemporary theological and ethical issues," he said. "I look forward to returning to Woodstock."
