Breakfast Participants Focus on Karl Rahner Society and Its
Purpose
How can the Karl Rahner Society best engage members and
fulfill the society's scholarly purpose? That was the focus of the breakfast meeting of the Karl Rahner Society,
which took
place within the annual convention of the
Catholic Theological Society
of America, June 9, 2007 in Los Angeles.
At this year's breakfast, society members were asked to
consider changes to the KRS Constitution and
By-Laws, and to recall some of the best presentations on Rahnerian
theology made during the last fifteen years of CTSA conventions.
Father Melvin Michalski (Sacred Heart School of Theology) started the program with a prayerful reminiscence of Rahner.
Then Mark
F. Fischer (St. John's Seminary and KRS webmaster) led a reflection
by the members present on changes to the KRS Constitution and By-Laws with
the help of KRS veteran, Robert Masson (Marquette University).
Participants affirmed in general the proposals for
changing the KRS constitution and suggested a number of ways to enhance
communication between the KRS Coordinating Committee and the members.
They also brainstormed proposals for scholarly papers to be presented at the
2008 convention of the CTSA, which will be held in Miami. For minutes

Fischer also reminded members of the afternoon's
presentation by Andreas Batlogg, S.J., and Mary E. Hines to the convention's
continuing
group on "Rahnerian
Resources for the Renewal of Episcopal Ministry."
