BALTIMORE (CNS) -- The Catholic Library Association honored Origins, a Catholic documentary service, with its Jerome Award for "outstanding contribution and commitment to excellence in scholarship." David Gibson, founding editor, accepted the award April 12 at the Jerome Award luncheon during the association's annual convention in Baltimore. Origins, established in 1971, is a publication of Catholic News Service in Washington. It publishes major official documents of the pope, the Vatican, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and other church entities as well as a variety of other religious documentation, from ecumenical and interreligious statements to papers by church officials, theologians and other thinkers on current church issues and trends. It is published 47 times a year and often carries important new texts the same week they are issued. Origins is also available online back to the 1970s at www.originsonline.com.
