In honor of Congdon's life and work, this month Communio features our Summer, 1986 issue, which includes a short meditation by Congdon, "An Artist, His Art, and the Christian Community," in addition to Ratzinger's article, "Interpretation-Contemplation-Action," Cardinal Kasper on "Church as 'Communio,'" Bruaire on "The Being of Spirit and the Holy Spirit," and Scheffczyk on "The Meaning of the 'Filioque.'"
