Each year, the West Suburban Catholic Culture series presents sophisticated yet accessible lectures drawn from the treasure house of the Church’s intellectual tradition. These lectures explore contemporary themes and issues by presenting faithful Catholic teaching in a way that avoids the acrimony of the culture wars.
As a capstone to the 2023-2024 series on Faith and Reason, the Lumen Christi Institute will hold an intimate dinner-time lecture at its headquarters on the University of Chicago Campus. Associate Director and Scholar-in-Residence Austin Walker will discuss the thought of St. John Henry Newman, one of the most influential and sophisticated modern Catholic thinkers. Dr. Walker will take us through Newman’s famous and insightful account of how we discover, assent to, and communicate the truth and beauty of the faith.
Doors will open and cocktails will be served at 6:30 pm. Dinner and the lecture begin at 7:00 pm. The evening will conclude by 8:30 pm. The format will be the same as we follow at Ruth Lake Country Club; the one difference is that we at Lumen Christi will have the joy of hosting you.
