In The Press

I seek to invite people to look beyond the ego to the creative and compassionate yearnings of the soul.

  • Star-Ledger Guest Column by Bishop Beckwith, Rabbi Gewirtz and Imam Shareef: “Messages of hope and peace for Newark”
  • Bishop Beckwith in the Star-Ledger: “Incoming legislature must fight childhood poverty”
  • A faith-based case for marriage equality
  • On the governor’s veto of the marriage equality bill
  • My Star-Ledger op-ed: Poverty, not marriage equality, is real threat to families
  • Star-Ledger Op-Ed: Faiths find hope, from Newark to the Mideast
  • N.J. congressmen have pivotal role in gun bill
  • Be aware of what else Super Bowl 2014 brings to NJ
  • Star-Ledger Op-Ed: N.J. legislators must act to take guns away from domestic abusers
  • Banding together to combat gun violence
  • Guns and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
I offer my reflections most every Monday on issues of the day, which reflect my years of ministry as a Bishop and priest, and my work with Braver Angels (a national movement to reduce polarization) and with Faith Leaders For Ending Gun Violence and Bishops United Against Gun Violence (two groups that I co-founded).
