Ethics Forward | Greg Hillis| Thomas Merton's Legacy by Forward Radio published on 2018-02-01T01:54:55Z What can we learn today from the writings and teachings of Thomas Merton? The Cistercian Monk, who spent his last 20 years at the Abbey of Gethsemani near Bardstown, became an internationally known -- and controversial -- proponent of peace, civil rights, and intercultural / interfaith dialogue. Fifty years after his untimely death, on what would have been his 103rd birthday, host Avery Kolers talks to Prof. Greg Hillis of the Bellarmine University Department of Theology. We look back at Merton's thought and see how relevant it all remains -- for better or for worse -- today.
