The #ElPasoSyllabus:
It’s been 2 weeks since the horrendous shooting in El Paso, the murder of 22 innocent individuals & wounding of 24 others. 2 weeks, #ElPasoShooting is no longer trending, most news outlets have dropped the story, the process of forgetting has begun.

There are several things that may explain why we’ve begun to forget El Paso. Many people don’t know the city and it may seems geographically far removed from the worldview of folks unfamiliar with the Southwest.
The victims of the shooting, mainly Mexican/Mexican American people, may seem unfamiliar to some Americans, beyond the rhetoric/stereotyping of the immigration reform debate. Many people probably don’t see Mexican-origin people as the “normal” victims of racist violence.
THREAD: Call for resources to my friends inside and outside #theology!
Colleagues and I are working on a public list of resources to help deepen and promote understanding of Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation on the family, #AmorisLaetitia.

We welcome your suggestions for the #AmorisSyllabus. While Amoris itself can be easily read and understood by ordinary families, many may want to go further in deepening their relationship to the spirit of the exhortation, or in delving into particular questions.
What resources--books, articles, web resources--movies? poems? hymns? prayers?--do you value as in keeping with the spirit of #Amoris? Which have you found helpful in further understanding particular issues?
