SUMMARY:WEBINAR: How NOT to Get Away with Murder
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. This event was made possible by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nWe’ve run this event in-person\, but now we’re bringing it to you online! When you register\, you will be sent a Zoom link to follow at the appointed time. You have three sections to choose from:\n\n11:00am-12:00pm\n\n1:00pm-2:00pm\n\n3:00pm-4:00pm\nAre you already tired of being quarantined in your house? Feel a little bit like you might kill your siblings? \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: \nHow was a snake able to trick Eve? Why do Adam and Eve respond to God so suspiciously? And then there’s the Cain and Abel story…why on Earth does Cain jump to murdering his brother? What are we supposed to learn from this Scripture? \nThis hour-long seminar will investigate these 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\nCome to whichever session fits your new online schedule the best! All you’ll need is access to a Bible (either a real-life book or just online!) We’ll read the text together\, and discuss!\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER!\nResources from this 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\n(Teachers and Youth Ministers may sit in\, if interested. Please register as “Other\,” and log in to the provided Zoom link 15 minutes prior to your session’s start time to ensure you are properly muted.)

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Gregory the Great on Reading Scripture for Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:This event is free and open to the public. Online registration is required. Registrants will receive an email witha link to join the webinar on Zoom. \nHow can scripture guide our search for wisdom? Bernard McGinn\, professor emeritus in the Divinity School of the University of Chicago\, begins our webinar series on Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought by presenting on Gregory the Great and reading scripture for wisdom. \nPope Saint Gregory the Great lived in an age of tumult–war\, waves of disease\, economic depression\, and civil deterioration. Alongside his administrative reforms and leadership\, Gregory described a spirituality that centered around meditative and contemplative reading of sacred scripture. Gregory’s practice of reading scripture\, particularly the Book of Job\, and his description of the practice had great influence upon medieval meditative and contemplative practices of reading the Word of God. \n\nThis lecture is part of our Spring Webinar Series on “Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought” \nWhat can reason discover about God? Are there other possible ways to know God? Medieval Christians undertook great rational enterprises—including the sharp logic of Abelard and the grand system of Thomas Aquinas—as well as practiced experiential and contemplative modes of knowing\, as did Bernard of Clairvaux. This course will examine how different preeminent medieval Christian thinkers saw the relationship between reason and wisdom\, how to arrive at them\, and so how to seek the face of God. \nThis series is cosponsored by the Collegium Institute\, the Nova Forum\, the Saint Benedict Institute\, the Beatrice Institute\, the Harvard Catholic Center\, and Calvert House Catholic Center. \nUpcoming Seminars \nThursday\, April 16\, 7PM\n“Anselm of Canterbury on the Rationality of Faith” | Aaron Canty (Saint Xavier University) \nThursday\, April 23\, 7PM\n“Thomas Aquinas on Ways to Know God” | Brian Carl (University of St. Thomas\, Houston) \nThursday\, April 30\, 7PM\nHildegard of Bingen (Title TBD) | Barbara Newman (Northwestern University) \nThursday\, May 7\, 7PM\nAbelard and Bernard of Clairvaux (Title TBD) | Willemien Otten (University of Chicago) \nThursday\, May 14\, 7PM\nJulian of Norwich (Title TBD) | Katie Bugyis (University of Notre Dame) \nThursday\, May 21\, 7PM\nBonaventure (Title TBD) | Kevin Hughes (Villanova University) \nThursday\, May 28\, 7PM\nMeister Eckhart | Bernard McGinn (University of Chicago) \nThursday\, June 4\, 7PM\nNicholas of Cusa | David Albertson (University of Southern California)

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Answering Your Atheist Philosophy Professor
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. This event was made possible by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nYou have two sections to choose from:\n\n1:00pm-2:00pm\n(The previously listed 11:00-12:00 session has been combined with this later session.)\n\n3:30pm-4:30pm\n\nCould God make something that He couldn’t move? If God is perfect\, why are humanity and the world so imperfect? \nIn March of 2019\, a San Diego State University professor of philosophy submitted an Opinion piece to the New York Times in which he claimed that God is an incoherent concept. The above are just some of the questions you will undoubtedly hear when you go off to college and encounter passionate\, athiest philosophy professors like him for the first time. In fact\, you might hear these questions already from peers or family members! What do we do about these arguments that seem so insurmountable? \nThe way to counter these arguments is much easier than you think. During this hour-long webinar\, we will read together the NYT article and discover how\, just using our own common sense and the powers of close reading\, what seem to be complex\, undeniable proofs for the absurdity of God’s existence are actually easily toppled through the logic they themselves utilize. \nYou won’t need a Bible\, you won’t need a philosophy textbook\, you won’t need a college degree: You’ll just need the mind you already have. \nHow does that sound? Want to be able to outsmart a college philosophy professor with your own high school brain? \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nThere is no charge for the seminar\, but a good-will donation of $10 is encouraged.\n\nYou can read the NYT article ahead of time here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/opinion/-philosophy-god-omniscience.html\n\n(Teachers and Youth Ministers may sit in\, if interested. Please register as “Other\,” and log in to the provided Zoom link 15 minutes prior to your session’s start time to ensure you are properly muted.)\nPhoto by Alex Block on Unsplash

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Anselm of Canterbury on the Rationality of Faith
DESCRIPTION:This event is free and open to the public. Online registration is required. Registrants will receive a link to the webinar via email. \nYou can also watch the live stream of the lecture on our YouTube Channel. \nJoin us for the second installment of our Spring Webinar Series. Professor Aaron Canty\, who teaches theology and medieval thought at Saint Xavier University\, will present on the thought of Saint Anselm of Canterbury (d. 1106). \nAnselm was a startlingly original monastic writer and thinker who drank deeply of Augustinian and patristic theology but formulated his own theological and philosophical writings in spare and compelling chains of reasoning. His Why God Became Man\, Monologion\, and Proslogion each chart new ways to practice ‘believing in order to understand (credo ut intelligam).’ \n\nThis lecture is part of our Spring Webinar Series on “Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought” \nWhat can reason discover about God? Are there other possible ways to know God? Medieval Christians undertook great rational enterprises—including the sharp logic of Abelard and the grand system of Thomas Aquinas—as well as practiced experiential and contemplative modes of knowing\, as did Bernard of Clairvaux.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Cardinal Francis George\, the  American Contribution to Catholic Social Thought\, and Our Current Moment
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by America Media\, the Saint Benedict Institute\, the Nova Forum\, the Collegium Institute\, the Beatrice Institute\, the Calvert House Catholic Center\, and Mundelein Seminary \nYou can read Thomas Levergood’s essay on Cardinal George’s legacy at America Magazine. \nA Memorial on the 5th Anniversary of the Death of Cardinal Francis George\, O.M.I. \nOn April 17—the 5th anniversary of the death of Cardinal Francis George O.M.I.—the Lumen Christi Institute will host a major web event that takes stock of the American contribution to Catholic Social Thought and how it applies in our current situation. \nAfter his appointment as archbishop of Chicago\, Cardinal George emerged as an intellectual leader within the Church\, nationally and world-wide\, and served as president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. His thought on American culture and society—expressed in numerous lectures and in three major books—provides a challenging\, critical view of the American experiment from the perspective of post-Vatican II Catholic thought. Revisiting his book on social questions and public life—God in Action: How Faith in God Can Address the Challenges of the World—allows us to reflect on the American contribution to Catholic Social Thought and to apply it to consider our situation today as we confront a great global crisis. \nThe panel will include Russell Hittinger\, Senior Fellow of the Lumen Christi Institute and Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago Law School (Fall\, 2020); Stephen Schneck\, emeritus Professor at the Catholic University of America and Executive Director of the Franciscan Action Network; and Theresa Smart\, assistant professor in the School of Civic and Economic Thought at Arizona State University. Each will draw from their own expertise and entertain the question of what distinctly American contributions have been made to Catholic Social Thought and how Cardinal George’s work fits within this tradition.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Thomas Aquinas on Ways to Know God
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third installment of our Spring Webinar Series. Professor Brian Carl\, who teaches philosophy at the University of St Thomas in Houston\, will present on the thought of Saint Thomas of Aquinas\, O.P. (d. 1274) on the ways to know God. Thomas was a friar of the Order of Preachers whose capacious mind bequeathed many treasures for the Christian tradition\, including scriptural commentaries\, philosophical treatises and commentary\, his Summa theologiae\, and devotional and liturgical texts. Thomas’ approach to the knowledge of God is complex\, acknowledging dialectical\, rational\, as well as revelatory\, gracious\, and mystical modes. \n\nThis lecture is part of our Spring Webinar Series on “Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought” \nWhat can reason discover about God? Are there other possible ways to know God? Medieval Christians undertook great rational enterprises—including the sharp logic of Abelard and the grand system of Thomas Aquinas—as well as practiced experiential and contemplative modes of knowing\, as did Bernard of Clairvaux.

SUMMARY:Schola Antiqua - Music in Secret
DESCRIPTION:The sounds flowing from pre-modern convents constitute one of the better kept secrets of music history. This spring\, the women of Schola Antiqua\, long-time Artists-in-Residence at the Lumen Christi Institute\, return to the convent repertoire with a revamped “Music in Secret” program in Chicago. Under the direction of British organist and harpsichordist Naomi Gregory\, this special concert of nuns’ music has brought the group around the country in the last two years with appearances from New York to St. Louis. The lone performance of “Music in Secret” in the Chicago area will take place on Friday\, April 24 at St. Clement Church. Plainchant of the convent mingles with sonorous sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century northern Italian music for nuns. \nTickets can be purchased here.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Disease and the Problem of Evil
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by America Media\, the Society of Catholic Scientists\, the Saint Benedict Institute\, the Beatrice Institute\, the Collegium Institute\, the Nova Forum\, and the Program on Religion and Medicine at the University of Chicago. This program is made possible by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. \nWhether caused by pathogens\, environmental exposure\, or genetics\, disease is typically understood to be an unwarranted and unwanted removal from one’s normal condition of good health. While a natural phenomenon\, disease raises classic questions of theodicy. If illness is a privation of the good of health\, should we also understand disease to be an evil? How can science\, theology\, philosophy\, and literature help us to account for the occurrence of deadly diseases and the suffering that results from them? \nIn this moderated conversation\, Stephen Meredith\, professor of pathology and molecular biology at the University of Chicago\, and Jeffrey Bishop\, healthcare ethicist and professor in philosophy and theology at Saint Louis University\, will engage these questions and others surrounding disease and the problem of evil.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Another Unexpected Journey with JRR Tolkien
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. This event was made possible by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nYou have two sections to choose from:\n\n1:00pm-2:00pm\n\n3:30pm-4:30pm\n\nHobbits and elves\, humans and dwarves\, trees with personality and the most famous ring of all time…. through his stories\, JRR Tolkien has taken generation after generation on countless fantastical journeys to far-off places\, full of magic and mystery. What’s more\, Tolkien has imbued his stories with the beauty of the Christian faith\, through careful allegory and metaphor. \nIn this hour-long session together\, we’ll read and discuss one of Tolkien’s lesser-known stories\, “Leaf by Niggle.” You thought there was nothing more humble than Hobbiton\, but through this brief tale of a regular man’s begrudging kindness and yes\, another unexpected journey\, we’ll see how even the most humble of human endeavors can leave an enormous\, magical impact. \nLike all of his works\, Tolkien guides us into the mysteries of Christian faith through allegory and imagistic suggestion. These are the most enjoyable of stories\, the ones that surprise us and leave us asking “what could that symbol mean?” During our time together\, we’ll unpack the layers of symbols in this short little story and wade into the picture of Christian faith Tolkien paints for us: How are we to spend our lives? How are we to treat our neighbors? What does it mean to prepare for a journey? \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\nYou will receive a copy of the story\, “Leaf by Niggle” when you register! Please read through the story prior to the start time of the session!\n\n\nThere is no charge for the seminar\, but a good-will donation of $10 is encouraged.\n\n(Teachers and Youth Ministers may sit in\, if interested. Please register as “Other\,” and log in to the provided Zoom link 15 minutes prior to your session’s start time to ensure you are properly muted.)\nPhoto titled “Leaf by Niggle\,” by Emily Austin Design\, LLC

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Hildegard of Bingen
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our fourth Spring Webinar Series lecture with renowned medievalist Barbara Newman\, who will introduce us to the life of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1169). A German Benedictine Abbess\, Hildegard produced works of visionary theology drawn from her mystical vision and one of the largest surviving collections of medieval musical compositions. \nAs a female religious in the 12th century\, she held a remarkable influence in the Church through preaching tours across Germany and correspondence with popes\, emperors\, and other monastic reformers. In 2012\, she was named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XVI. \n\nThis lecture is part of our Spring Webinar Series on “Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought” \nWhat can reason discover about God? Are there other possible ways to know God? Medieval Christians undertook great rational enterprises—including the sharp logic of Abelard and the grand system of Thomas Aquinas—as well as practiced experiential and contemplative modes of knowing\, as did Bernard of Clairvaux. This course will examine how different preeminent medieval Christian thinkers saw the relationship between reason and wisdom\, how to arrive at them\, and so how to seek the face of God. \nThis series is cosponsored by the Calvert House Catholic Center\, the Collegium Institute\, the Harvard Catholic Center\, the Nova Forum\, the Beatrice Institute\, and the Saint Benedict Institute\,  \nUpcoming Seminars: \nThursday\, May 7\, 7PM\nAbelard and Bernard of Clairvaux | Willemien Otten (University of Chicago) \nThursday\, May 14\, 7PM\nJulian of Norwich | Katie Bugyis (University of Notre Dame) \nThursday\, May 21\, 7PM\nBonaventure | Kevin Hughes (Villanova University) \nThursday\, May 28\, 7PM\nMeister Eckhart | Bernard McGinn (University of Chicago) \nThursday\, June 4\, 7PM\nNicholas of Cusa | David Albertson (University of Southern California)
