Biographies

Dick Leonard has been a liberal minister in the New York City area for fifty-four years. His ministry has included civil rights promotion, music, and the development of schools and camps. He has also found time to visit many countries with his wife, Polly, and to marry more than 3,000 couples in those years. In Ports of Call he has collected eleven of his sermons and seven other writings, all composed during his twenty-four years at the All Souls Church. The piece The Day the Russians Went Home, by the Reverend Bruce Clear, completes the story of the visit to the U.S. in 1990 by twelve Russian young people and their two adult chaperones. Dick describes his day of involvement with the Russians as "the day I will remember after I have forgotten all the others." "An exquisite collection of sermons and other writings, bound together not only by the wisdom, compassion and buoyant good humor of this author, but also-like stars marking destinations on a journey toward life's meaning-constituting nothing less than Richard Leonard's soul map. A truly lovely book."-Forrest Church

Teenagers will find a teacher’s personal thoughts about them surprising—and encouraging. Teachers will recognize themselves and their students in Leonard’s tales and appreciate his respect for a noble profession, familiar to all but understood best by those fortunate enough to teach. “Best book I ever read. They should make a movie.”—Trixie Laverne

A lively, discerning guide to what’s good, beautiful, and true at the movies “Richard Leonard, SJ, expertly guides readers through some of the most popular recent films and shows us how even the most unlikely movies can encourage us to pray and draw closer to the divine . . . fascinating, lively, and often witty.” —James Martin, SJ, author of My Life with the Saints This thought-provoking and inspiring work by popular film critic and Jesuit Richard Leonard explains how movies are today’s parables and why people of faith need the skills to converse about them intelligently and productively. In Movies That Matter, Leonard views fifty important movies through “a lens of faith” and offers surprising insights on the spiritual dimension of each film. From Finding Nemo to Gandhi to The Godfather, Leonard’s informed, Christian point of view guides us to a new appreciation of both the films and our own spiritual beliefs. Leonard also lists teachable moments found in each movie and provides questions for personal reflection or group dialogue.
In addition, Leonard teaches today’s religious educators, parents, and film buffs how to “read” a film with the eyes of faith, and how to meaningfully engage with others through the media of film. He offers realistic advice on such topics as: valuing our story, sex and violence in films, ratings, and how to be a critical consumer. This entertaining and reliable guide will enrich your movie-watching experience. “Movies That Matter is a book every person in pastoral ministry will want to use as he or she seeks to be relevant and faithful in a media world.” —Rose Pacatte, FSP, coauthor Lights, Camera, . . .
