SUMMARY:Creation: Artistic & Divine
DESCRIPTION:This event was open to high school students\, parents\, and teachers. \nCo-sponsored by Mundelein Seminary\, the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocation Office\, Relevant Radio\, and the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. This program was made possible in part by a gift from the Paluch Family Foundation and a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nFollow us on Instagram for updates about the event. \n\nPhysics tells us how the universe is ordered\, but can it tell us why? How are the laws of physics like a baseball rulebook? And why should we expect the universe to operate according to regular laws anyway? \nIf God created all things at the beginning of time\, what are artists doing when they “create” a beautiful work of art? Can one thing be more beautiful than another? How are beauty and art related to God? \nJoin us on February 15\, 2020 at the University of Chicago as Professors Stephen Barr (Physics\, U of Delaware\, President of Society of Catholic Scientists) and Jennifer Newsome Martin (Theological Aesthetics\, Notre Dame’s Department of Liberal Studies) help high school students from throughout the region investigate the physics of creation and the theology of creativity. \nContact Austin Walker for more information or with questions. \n\nDay Schedule \n8:30   Breakfast and Registrations (Swift Hall Common Room) \n9:00   Introductions and Prayers (Swift Hall 3rd Floor Lecture Hall) \n9:15   Icebreaker \n9:30    Lecture: Steve Barr with Q&A (35 min lecture\, 15 min Q&A) \n10:20   Break \n10:30   Lecture: Jenny Martin with Q&A (35 min lecture\, 15 min Q&A) \n11:30   Lunch and Discussion Groups (2nd and 3rd Floor Swift Classrooms) \n1:00   Adoration \n1:30   Discussion/Q&A among Barr\, Martin\, and Students

SUMMARY:How NOT To Get Away with Murder
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. \nThe book of Genesis is one of the most interesting and difficult books of the Bible. And there is so much more to it than meets the eye.  For example: \nWhen the snake approaches Eve for the first time\, he asks her: “Did God really say\, ‘You shall not eat from any of the trees in the garden’?”  But that isn’t what God said at all.  He told Adam\, “You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”  Already\, the snake has changed God’s command in order to make God appear unjust. God says: all but one. The snake says: none at all\, right?  Eve is in trouble–she wasn’t there when God gave Adam the original command. She hadn’t been created yet.  If she heard the command at all\, she heard it second-hand from Adam.  As you can see\, the snake is very devious.\n\nThis 90-minute seminar will investigate this and other passages in the 3rd and 4th chapters of Genesis.  By reading the text closely and paying attention to what is (and isn’t) there\, we will discover a whole new complexity to the relationship between God\, the first four humans\, and the snake.  Not only is God revealed as imminently just and merciful\, but also as a very acute observer of human psychology!\n\nResources from the seminar are drawn from Joseph Ratzinger’s (Pope Bendict’s) In the Beginning…’: A Catholic Understanding of the Story of Creation and the Fall.\n\nThere is no charge for the seminar\, but a good-will donation of $10 is encouraged.\n\nOn February 15\, the Newman Forum will host a day-long conference for high school students on “Creation: Artistic & Divine.”\nIMAGE: The First Mourning by William-Adolphe Bouguereau\, 1888 courtesy of Wikimedia Commons

SUMMARY:The Making of a Modern Saint:  John Henry Newman on Faith and Education in a Secular Age
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Mundelein Seminary\, the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocation Office\, and the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. This program is made possible in part by a gift from the Paluch Family Foundation and a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. \nFollow us on Instagram for updates about the event. \n\nHave you ever wondered why you go to school? Or what the point of it all is? What goes into making a big decision? And how do you fit together everything you know–or even the past with the future? \nJohn Henry Newman will be canonized on October 13th. On October 19th\, we’ll celebrate his life and thought. \n\n\nIn the morning\, Dwight Lindley from Hillsdale College will talk about\, “Conversion\, the Key to Newman’s Life and Thought.” Newman understood his own conversion to be a gradual realization of what his most-deeply held principles required of him–it wasn’t some shallow “emotional” feeling. And Newman’s understanding of conversion helped him to give an account of the Church’s development over time (and how that development is both similar to and different from Darwinian evolution!).\n\nIn the afternoon\, Dave Deavel from University of St. Thomas will tell us about Newman’s idea of education. He will help us ask what a true education is. What does it mean to seek “knowledge for its own sake”? What does it mean when Newman describes the whole of knowledge as a “circle”? How do all the “subjects”—biology\, history\, philosophy\, theology\, and the rest—in the circle fit together? What unites them? Does theology have to be part of true education? How does “being educated” relate to my career? We’ll talk about all this and more in this lecture.\n\nThere will also be food\, games\, outdoor competitions\, and a prize for the winners.\n\n\nSCHEDULE \n9:00am Registration and Breakfast\n10:00am Welcome & Introductions\n10:15am Opening Prayer\n10:30am Prof. Lindley lecture on Newman’s life and times\n11:45am  Lunchtime discussion group\n1:00pm Outdoor activity\n2:15pm Prof. Deavel lecture on Science\, University\, and Liberal Education\n3:30pm Discussion Groups\n4:30pm Mass (optional)\n5:45pm Pizza Party (optional)
