At november the 12th 2010 we honoured our namegiver. Edward Schillebeeckx would have turned 96 jaar today. We are moved by the fact that Edward isn’t amongst us anymore. We remember the special personal moments we had with him. And we are grateful for the way he contributed to church and theology, to the happiness of many inside and outside the church. Despite his death we honour a good tradition. The enormous bouquet of roses, the way we tried to show our appreciation, indeed colored the house which was so valuable to Edward.
Drs. T. Schoof undertook again the trouble to update the bibliography of secondary literature about Edward Schillebeeckx. The changes are collected in a seperate document as well. The Foundation is drs. T. Schoof grateful for all the work he did.
