SUMMARY:Future Directions of Hispanic Theology
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. This event will be held online through Zoom (registration required) and live-streamed to YouTube. This event is part of a webinar series on Hispanic Theology. This event and series is made possible by a generous grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nWhere do we go from here? Concluding our spring Hispanic Theology Series\, Professor Peter Casarella and Dean Michelle Maldonado will discuss the current landscape of Hispanic Theology\, considering the most pressing needs and most promising opportunities in the field. Join us for this lively conversation\, moderated by Professor Horacio Vela (University of the Incarnate Word). \n\nSpring 2021 Hispanic Theology Series\nIn the last half century\, the demographics of Catholicism in America has shifted dramatically as Latino Catholic communities continue to grow. Today\, nearly 50 percent of American Catholics are Latino. What are the trends and currents of Hispanic theology in the US? How does it draw from the deep wells of polyglot Catholic Intellectual tradition and from the experience of Catholics on the ground? How is Hispanic theology a resource today not only for Latino communities\, but also the broader Church? \nJoin Tuesdays this Spring as the Lumen Christi Institute presents some of the top Latino/a scholars in the United States for an introduction to Hispanic Theology. \nThis series and event is made possible by a generous grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute and cosponsored by  ACHTUS: The Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the US \, La Comunidad of Hispanic Scholars of Religion\, Corazón Puro\, the Hispanic Theological Initiative\, Saint Benedict Institute\, the Nova Forum\, Calvert House Catholic Ministry\, Dominican University Ministry Program\, the Ecclesia in America Network\, the Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage\, the Óscar Romero Scholars Program at Catholic Theological Union\, Iskali\, Commonweal Magazine\, and America Media.

SUMMARY:Saint Among the Skyscrapers: The American Afterlife of Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE REGISTRATION\n$10 registration fee for the online event. Registration required. A link to the livestream will be sent to registrants on the day of the event.  \nIN PERSON REGISTRATION\nYou can now register for this in-person event taking place at the University Club of Chicago (76 E. Monroe St.) from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. \nCosponsored by the University of North Carolina Press. \nDrawing on the recent book\, A Saint of Our Own: How the Quest for a Holy Hero Helped Catholics Become American (University of North Carolina Press\, 2019)\, this lecture will focus on St Frances Cabrini\, an Italian missionary who arrived in New York in 1889 and died in Chicago in 1917. Cabrini and the congregation she founded\, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart\, made their mark on Chicago and her other foundations throughout the United States\, South America\, and Europe. Cabrini progressed quite rapidly through the process of canonization\, the elaborate series of steps through which the Catholic Church affirms that a holy person entered God’s eternal presence at the moment of death. This lecture explores her “afterlife” in historical memory\, examining the role that Chicago played in presenting her as a saint for their city\, the nation\, and the world.

SUMMARY:Race and Justice in America
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the Lumen Christi Institute’s Catholic Criminal Justice Reform Network.\nNational conversation about racial bias in law enforcement has become increasingly polarized over the last year. Some deny the existence of any widespread discrimination\, while others see systemic racism as an inextricable part of American criminal justice\, and call for defunding or even abolishing police forces. \nProfessor Brandon Vaidyanathan says that racial bias in the criminal justice system is more complicated. A number of factors\, including personal prejudice\, laws and policies with racist origins\, and broader cultural disparities that reflect the history of American racial discrimination\, all contribute to a system that is neither irredeemably racist nor free from racial bias. Recognizing this complex interplay of problems\, says Vaidyanathan\, can help us move toward solutions. \nJoin Brandon Vaidyanathan\, Herschella Conyers\, and Darren Davis for a conversation moderated by Cook County Judge Tom Donnelly\, as they discuss race in contemporary American criminal justice and a path to equality in a fractured nation. \nThis event is cosponsored by the Institute for Human Ecology.

SUMMARY:The Song of Songs in Monastic Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. This event was held online through Zoom and live-streamed to YouTube. This event is part of a summer webinar series on Monastic Wisdom.  \nThe Song of Songs is the Bible’s treasure-house of love poetry\, a cycle of songs sung between a man\, a woman\, and their friends\, lush with the imagery of nature and of intense human longing. In it the name of God nowhere to be seen; believers have always\, however\, cherished it as a figurative representation of the ideal love between God and humanity; indeed\, one of history’s most forceful movements for Christian celibacy – the Cistercian renewal of the twelfth-century – was famous for tending to treat the Song of Songs as the very heart of the Bible. This challenges us with the following very basic question: what does it mean to speak of God in romantic terms? \n\nWisdom from the Heart of the Cistercian Tradition \nJoin us once per month\, June through September\, for four Sunday evening sessions featuring monks from Our Lady of Dallas Cistercian Abbey who will lead us through a series of reflections examining the contours of the monastic intellectual tradition. At the foundations of the Cistercian order is the reform movement of St. Bernard of Clairvaux. In faithfulness to their founder\, these webinars invite participants to see how the monastic approach to Scripture\, theology\, and the common life might reform our own understanding and endeavors in the labors of daily Christianity. \nThis series is co-presented with Our Lady of Dallas Cistercian Abbey\, and co-sponsored by the Harvard Catholic Forum\, the Nova Forum\, the Saint Benedict Institute\, and Studies in Catholic Faith and Culture at the University of Dallas. \nUpcoming sessions: \nJuly 25\, 7:30 PM CT: \nA School for the Lord’s Service”: A Meditation on the Rule of St. Benedict\nFr. Abbot Peter Verhalen\, O. Cist. \n— \nAugust 22\, 7:30 PM CT: \nThe Monastics before the Scholastics: An Introduction to Medieval Monastic Theology\nFr. John Bayer\, O. Cist. \n— \nSeptember 26\, 7:30 PM CT: \nThe Christological Structure of Spiritual Growth In the Thought of St. Bernard\nFr. Roch Kereszty\, O. Cist.
