Speaker: Greg Pierce

Greg Pierce has been the publisher of ACTA Publications for 40 years and has been very involved with the ACP during that time. He has also been a Catholic lay leader with the National Center for the Laity and a community organizer with the Industrial Areas Foundation. He is the author of Spirituality@Work, The World As It Should Be, and Reveille for a New Generation. He recently published an edition of Rerum Novarum (Of New Things) by Pope Leo XIII in inclusive American English that makes this seminal document accessible and understandable to American-English readers while still maintaining the insights, lyricism, and flavor of the original. Free copies of this new edition will be given to each participant in this workshop.
