Monday, 25 January
The 25 January is celebrated annually as the feast of the conversation of St Paul and the final day of the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The Archbishop received America magazine's 2009 Campion Award at a presentation ceremony in New York.
The award was founded in 1955 and named after St Edmund Campion SJ, one of the Forty Martys of England canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1970, and a person of unusual literary talent. The award is given to modern Christian authors as a recognition of similar abilities. Its first recipient was Jacques Maritain, the noted Thomist philosopher.
The opening comments of the Editor-in-Chief of America magazine, Fr Drew Christiansen SJ, can be found here and the Archbishop's acceptance speech can be heard here.

- Theology & Economics: Two Different Worlds?
