SUMMARY:"Listening in on 'The Great Conversation'" | The University of Chicago in the 1940s — 1960s
DESCRIPTION:PRIVATE EVENT\, BY INVITE ONLY\nFor questions\, please email David Strobach at dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. \n\nWhat was college life like at the University of Chicago at mid century? Atomic fission was being achieved under Stagg Field; the intensive four-year Core Curriculum was in full swing; and world-historical scholars like Friedrich Hayek\, Leo Strauss\, and Hannah Arendt were on faculty. The eminent political philosopher (AB ’47) Ralph Lerner and renowned theologian David Novak (AB ’61) will reflect on their undergraduate years at the college\, the role the University played in their intellectual journeys\, and the place of religious belief in the life of the mind. \nThey will be joined by John Boyer\, longtime Dean of the College\, professor of history\, and author of The University of Chicago: A History; and Danny Wasserman\, Executive Director of the Lumen Christi Institute and College alumnus (’05). Boyer and Wasserman will provide historical and contemporary perspective to the evening’s discussion.

SUMMARY:A Catholic Vision of Art: Beauty - The Highway to God - A Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n(Business casual attire encouraged. For questions\, please email Marial Corona at mcorona@lumenchristi.org). \nSchedule: 6:30 p.m. Drinks | 7:00 p.m. Dinner\, Lecture\, & Q&A | 8:30 p.m. End \nMay 14: A Catholic Vision of Art: Beauty – The Highway to God\nSarah Crow (Saint Xavier University | St. Gregory’s Hall)\n\n“In everything which gives us the pure authentic feeling of beauty there is really the presence of God…all art of the highest order is religious in essence”  \n– Simone Weil  \n\nBeautiful art reflects the glory of the living\, incarnate God\, Jesus Christ\, whether or not explicitly religious in subject matter. Art is not only an instrument and expression of culture\, but also has a prophetic capacity to “prepare the way for the Lord” and transform the hearts of those who encounter it. This lecture will look at great works of art\, both sacred and secular\, and demonstrate how they can lead us to God. \nSERIES DESCRIPTION \nWestern culture owes a great deal to Christianity\, but Christianity does not require any culture\, as a culture\, to be built with Christian materials. This does not reflect a weakness or defect in Christianity. It is a consequence of its genius. Christianity can and should inform every human undertaking. In this series\, we’ll explore various arenas where human existence is played out and discover how Christianity can transform them. Our point of departure is Remi Brague’s reflection “From What is Left Over\,” which takes as its inspiration Pope Benedict’s “The Roots of European Culture.” \n
