SUMMARY:Angels\, Demons\, Heaven\, and Hell: On Christian "Mythology" and the Spiritual Life
DESCRIPTION:Join the Lumen Christi Institute for a special Epiphany symposium and reception with medieval historian Rachel Fulton Brown and Benedictine Monk Fr. Peter Funk\, OSB. Free and open to the public. \nMany traditional Christian beliefs and teachings about spiritual realities have become unpalatable to modern sensibilities. Accounts of angelic visitations\, demonic possessions\, the stain of original sin\, and the threat of eternal torment are today considered untrue or irrelevant by non-believers and even many Christians. Why were such “myths” so central to Christian belief and practice for so many centuries? Is there any value in understanding why ancient\, medieval\, and contemporary Christians believe in such things? Or does Christianity need to be demythologized in order to survive in a post-enlightenment age? In this conversation\, Rachel Fulton Brown and Fr. Peter Funk\, OSB will consider the history of these “myths” and their relevance for contemporary spiritual practices. \nTo view photos of the symposium\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nImage: Michelangelo Buonarroti\, The Torment of Saint Anthony

SUMMARY:The State of Religion in America
DESCRIPTION:$60 General / $600 Host Committee Member \nSince publishing Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics in 2012\, Ross Douthat’s commentary on American religious culture has established him as a prominent and thoughtful critic. This lecture will describe the three “world pictures” that dominate American religiosity: the biblical\, spiritual\, and secular. As these world pictures jockey for cultural dominance\, interesting questions arise. Can the biblical world picture gain ground? Will the secular world picture carry the day? Will the spiritual world picture be forced to give way to one of its more inflexible alternatives? These and other questions will be considered in view of contemporary political and cultural events. \nDouthat explored these themes in a popular 2013 column accessible here. \nRoss Douthat also participated in a panel discussion on “Religion and Religious Expression in the Academy and Public Life” at the University of Chicago on January 17. \nTo view photos of the luncheon\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.
