At wednesday November 12 Edward would have celebrated his 100th birthday. What would have been his opinion on the tendency that most believers currently might be found outside the Church? That people feel personally related to God but do not feel at home in the Church? Believing outside the Church – is that possible? Maarten van den Bos, Stephan van Erp and Christa Anbeek discuss this topic in honor of the 100th birthday of Edward Schillebeeckx. Here you can listen to the audio recordings (in Dutch).

Here you can watch the short documentary about Edward Schillebeeckx, created for the Schillebeecxk exhibition 2014 in Nijmegen.

At 12 November 2014, we celebrate the 100th birth year of our namegiver, Edward Schillebeeckx. 2014 has become a beautiful Schillebeeckx-year, with the publication of the Collected Works, a standard edition. This edition may continue to get us inspired by his practival theology. His theology is extensively explained and discussed at the Schillebeeckx 100 conference. Additionally, there was a nice exposition and documentary on show in Nijmegen. As Foundation, we try to keep his theology alive. But today, we recall the human Edward. The Foundation Board expresses the hope that the aromatic bunch of flowers in Edward’s previous living room will bring back special and precious memories.

In december 2013, the winners of the second Edward Schillebeeckx Essay Prize were awarded. The winning essays can be found at the website of the Tijdschrift voor Theologie.
