Our Events

Drawing on Brown’s exegetical exploration of Wisdom’s paideia in the Book of Wisdom, Clark Power explores the relationship between Christianity and culture (following Remi Brague) with a focus on sports and more specifically youth sports. He argues that sports is play and as such fosters children’s development of the theological and cardinal virtues. In childhood as well as adulthood, sports should lead us to a transcendent joy that is rooted in freedom, love, and hope for the future of the human community.

Beautiful 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.
