I have never before had a reason to visit the Catholic Diocese of Columbus; however, I recently [1-15-2019] attended a commemoration of Martin Luther King's 90th birthday, on an extremely cold morning, several blocks away from the Diocese office, at the Washington Gladden Social Justice Park [that had opened 10-28-2018 near First Congregational Church at 444 E. Broad St.].

It was announced at the end of the absolutely-freezing-cold commemoration of Martin Luther King's 90th birthday that the Catholic Diocese of Columbus had invited all of us to a free meal immediately afterwards.

My plan had been to rush immediately to the Columbus Metropolitan Library [several blocks to the south] to warm up before taking the bus home so it had been great to have a warm place to go -- immediately after the commemoration -- that had included food and also an opportunity for conversation.

The Diocese building had been heated; the Diocese staff had been welcoming; the food had been great; the extended period of sharing among those who had participated in the recent commemoration of Martin Luther King's 90th birthday [many of whom have been community leaders for decades] had been extremely rich.

The people working here were nice and reasonable. Very different than my, perhaps dated, perceptions of Catholics. I would recommend friends who would like to learn more about Christian God and Catholicism to make an appointment.

This diocese stresses conformity and uniformity. Pastoral direction often plays off these. Like most US dioceses, contemplative spirituality is often forgotten. Vatican II authentic renewal sadly lacking.
