Wilfrid again

This week's issue of AMDG carries the following news.
Again, congrats to Wilfrid. The Church of Ireland curate in Camp, Co Kerry, considers Wilfrid to be the best lecturer he had while studying at the COI Divinity College in Dublin.
I recommend Irish Dominicans read Irish Jesuit websites - they might give us some idea how to improve our sites. Then again, maybe our sites are telling us a story.

The new album from Sinead O'Connor is called Theology and is dedicated to her Milltown lecturer, Wilfred Harrington OP. Sinead studied Old Testament Scripture with Wilfred at Milltown Institute in 2003/4, and was brought around the Institute on her first day by Bill Callanan SJ. The album includes eight original songs on themes from the Prophets and the Psalms written by Sinead, as well as cover versions including I Don't Know How To Love Him from the musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, and the spiritual Rivers of Babylon with new lyrics penned by O'Connor. "Theology is an attempt to create a place of peace in a time of war," said O'Connor. Read her interview on the album: CrossRhythms.co.uk.
