VINTAGE BURGESS
Isidro Ferrer was commissioned to create a series of stark graphic illustrations, where several images combine on each cover, in a playful almost surreal way. Each cover has an off white background with simple san serif title.
Ferrer is one of the most reputed [sic] current designers in Spain. His work includes that for the National Drama Centre and his work for the newspaper El País.

That simply reminds us that evangelization is always an overflow of something else - the disciple’s journey to maturity in Christ, a journey not organized by the ambitious ego but the result of the prompting and drawing of the Spirit in us. In our considerations of how we are once again to make the Gospel of Christ compellingly attractive to men and women of our age, I hope we never lose sight of what makes it compelling to ourselves, to each one of us in our diverse ministries. So I wish you joy in these discussions - not simply clarity or effectiveness in planning, but joy in the promise of the vision of Christ’s face, and in the foreshadowing of that fulfillment in the joy of communion with each other here and now.

What’s needed on climate change, ultimately, is a wholesale, society-wide commitment to remaking energy, agricultural, and land-use systems along low-carbon lines. “Market mechanisms” like a carbon tax are a crucial part of that effort, especially as a source of funding, but they are in no way a substitute for that effort. We won’t get out of this that easily.
