Springbank Papers

Priest, poet, professor, and environmentalist Jim Conlon has worked tirelessly building bridges between science and religion for more than a quarter century.

In the tradition of cultural historian and geologian Thomas Berry at the Riverdale Center for Religious Research, Fr. Conlon composed programs and reflections at Springbank Retreat in Kingstree, South Carolina, during his retirement years. He says, "Through this work, I reflect on the watershed moments that affect all our lives. I feel a mysterious and incessant invitation. I hope to understand, experience, and give expression to the questions still rumbling in my soul."
