SUMMARY:Magis Lecture | Technology\, Liturgy\, and the Work of Human Hands
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n5:00 Mass  | 5:45 Drinks & Hors d’Oeuvres  | 6:30 Lecture  | 7:15 End \nCo-presented by Loyola Academy.  \nFree and open to the public. Registration required. For questions\, please contact Marial Corona at mcorona@lumenchristi.org. \nTechnology always pushes the limits of our thinking and challenges us morally. In this presentation\, we will see that our difficulty with evaluating the morality of technology is because technology sits very close to human identity. Human culture just is technology. Technology/culture is produced by us\, but it in turn comes to produce human identity. If this is true\, what do we make of the work of human hands as Christians? \nAbout the Magis Series\nThe Magis Series on Faith and Reason is a partnership between the Lumen Christi Institute\, St. Ignatius College Prep\, and Loyola Academy to bring accessible yet sophisticated lectures on the Church’s intellectual tradition to the broad lay public. The event is open to everyone from high school students to retirees. Anyone who desires a lively entree into the mind of the Church is welcome and encouraged to attend; no affiliation with either high school is needed.

SUMMARY:Christian Martyrdom in the Reformation Era: Reflections on Salvation at Stake (1999) after Twenty-Five Years
DESCRIPTION:5:00 p.m. Mass.\nLecture & reception to follow \nCosponsored by the Bollandist Society\, St. Ignatius College Prep. Supported by the Fr. Paul V. Mankowski\, S.J.\, Memorial Fund for Jesuit Scholarship at Lumen Christi. \nFree and open to the public. Registration required.  \nIn Reformation Europe\, several thousand Christian men and women were executed for their religious beliefs. Brad Gregory told their stories and analyzed the implications in Salvation at Stake\, his ground-breaking 1999 book comparing how Catholic\, Protestant\, and Anabaptist martyrs understood themselves. His book has been acclaimed widely and has shaped how many historians now write about religious belief and practice. In this lecture\, Prof. Gregory will reflect on the themes of his research on Christian martyrdom\, especially in light of more recent developments that point to why the study of history and martyrdom continue to be relevant today.

SUMMARY:Literary Traditions and the Pursuit of Truth: A Culture of Humility - A Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
DESCRIPTION:The West Suburban Catholic Culture Series Fall 2024\nA Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century\nREGISTRATION\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 \nOctober 16th:\nLiterary Traditions and the Pursuit of Truth: A Culture of Humility\nEmily Austin (University of Chicago)\nThe challenges of our times can make Christians feel embattled and besieged. But the Catholic intellectual tradition\, at its best\, equips us to look with openness for the Truth\, incarnate in the world around us. In this lecture\, Prof. Emily Austin will share her perspective as a classicist\, reading within a literary tradition. To read within a tradition requires patience and attentiveness\, allowing each text to teach you how to read anew. She will argue that a Catholic literary culture requires—and fosters—humility. The pursuit of Truth is most productively sought\, in a literary context\, within a community of friends \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  \nCALENDAR \nSeptember 25: What is Catholic Culture?\nJennifer Newsome Martin (University of Notre Dame) \nOctober 16: Literary Traditions and the Pursuit of Truth: A Culture of Humility\nEmily Austin (University of Chicago) \nNovember 20: The Story of Catholic Education: Renewing Our Schools\, Renewing Our Culture\nMichael Naughton (University of St. Thomas) \nFebruary 27: Journalism and Catholic Culture – CANCELLED\nJD Flynn (The Pillar) \nMarch 20: On Work\nPaul Blaschko (University of Notre Dame) \nApril 24: A Catholic Vision of Sports\nClark Power (University of Notre Dame)

SUMMARY:Heart Speaks to Heart: John Henry Newman on Faith\, Reason\, and Holiness
DESCRIPTION:Registration has been closed\n(If you would like to be put on a waitlist in case we receive a cancellation\, please email mcorona@lumenchristi.org) \nEach 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. \nAs 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. \nDoors 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.
