One Light, Many Colors Fr. Dr. Anthony D’Souza has taught as a distinguished Haggai Institute faculty member for more than 30 years. He has also served as a consultant to three former popes. Each fall, Fr. D’Souza directed the orientation of the new Catholic bishops in Rome. In the late 1970s, he served as a Vatican liaison to the World Council of Churches. After attending Haggai Institute, he told the Pope he wanted to resign his membership in the WCC. He did not share their goal of trying to resolve the many differences among denominations. He said, “Haggai Institute focuses on the one thing we all have in common, Jesus Christ, and His love for all – regardless of denomination, race, or culture.” One Light, many colors!
