United in their concern about policies of detention and incarceration that disproportionately affect their communities, Hispanic and black [sic] theologians gathered for a rare joint meeting June 4-7 in Albuquerque. More than 80 scholars met to respond to the biblical call to "Set the Captives Free," the colloquium's theme.—Heidi Schlumpf  “The LORD sets captives free” (Psalm 146:7) is also the theme for Liturgy of the Word, Reading 366, Tuesday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time I, viz. today.  Similarly, “The abundance of their joy and their profound poverty overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part” (2 Corinthians 8:2).  “I will sing praise to my God while I live’ (Psalm 146:2), i.e. while I face death with composure and holy hope in the LORD.  “But I say to you, love your enemies . . . so be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:44 and 48).
