The In Lumine Network consists of six independent institutes for Catholic Thought located at elite research universities in the United States. Funded by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation, the In Lumine network aims to advance dialogue between theology, philosophy, and the natural and social sciences on the campuses they serve.
The founding members of the network include: the Lumen Christi Institute at the University of Chicago, the Nova Forum at the University of Southern California, the Saint Anselm Institute at the University of Virginia, COLLIS at Cornell University, the Collegium Institute at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Harvard Catholic Forum at Harvard University.
Through the development of the In Lumine Network, institutes for Catholic thought at secular universities will be better prepared to humbly but confidently remind the academy of the importance of the Catholic intellectual tradition in the centuries-old dialogue between science and faith. By advocating for the complementarity of epistemologies too often cast as opposites, fruitful and enriching dialogue will certainly result.
