SUMMARY:The Catholic Imagination in Modern American Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Part of our Western Suburban Catholic Culture Series. This event will be live streamed on Zoom. \nAt the turn of the twentieth century\, the American Historian Henry Adams wrote admiringly of the Catholic mind as it found expression in the medieval world. It was beautiful\, it was good\, but\, alas\, could not be true. Within a generation\, younger American writers were impelled by that same beauty but dared to ask whether they might be equally impelled by the Catholic vision of the world as true. Thus began a great literary adventure\, as American poets entered into the Catholic tradition and sought to make poems that conveyed the depth and power of an encounter with the Catholic proclamations of faith as the truth of the world.

SUMMARY:Lunch Discussion on "The Vocation of the Poet: Humanism\, Christianity\, and Verse"
DESCRIPTION:Open to current students and faculty. Others interested in joining should contact us. Lunch will be served. \nJoin us for a lunch discussion with poet and professor James Matthew Wilson (University of St. Thomas\, Houston) \nPoetry is\, at best\, a marginal art form in contemporary America\, and yet its craft\, technique\, and tradition are all provocations to reconsider what it means to live a whole\, formed life and what it means to encounter\, contemplate\, and understand reality. In this informal conversation\, Professor Wilson will share his own experience of discovering the craft and vocation of verse and we’ll consider what poetry has to teach us about the nature of humanistic learning and that which deepens and transcends it\, the theological dimension of the intellectual and spiritual life.

SUMMARY:Master Class on T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets"
DESCRIPTION:A master class with poet and professor James Matthew Wilson (University of St. Thomas\, Houston). Open to current graduate students\, faculty\, and advanced University of Chicago undergraduate students. Others interested in participating should contact us. Registrants will receive copies of the prepared reading. \nGenerally regarded as the greatest poem of the twentieth century\, T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets is not only an important poem but a masterful modern contribution to the long Christian-Platonist tradition of the West. It is at once a work of art and a suggestive vision of Christian humanist metaphysics\, ethics\, and mystical theology\, one to which perhaps only Dante’s Divine Comedy may be compared. In this master class\, we will study the form of the poem\, make sense of its difficulties\, and discover how the sequence as a whole answers that most fundamental of Christian questions: what is the meaning of the Incarnation?

SUMMARY:Recovering Hymnography Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Lumen Christi Institute\, The Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies\, and the Fordham Center for Orthodox Christian Studies Present: \nRecovering Hymnography Symposium \nMay 15-16\, 2022 | University of Chicago \nFree and open to the public. Please note you must register for each day separately. \nThis symposium will explore the tradition of hymnography as both prayer and pedagogy\, sharing insights about how biblical interpretation\, ethical injunction\, and theological reflection are combined with ritual reenactment in the texts they consider. Papers on early Christian liturgical hymnography in the Greek\, Syriac\, and Latin traditions will be shared and discussed with expert respondents. In so doing\, the presenting scholars will shed light on the late antique Christian world’s practice of hymnography that is still preserved today by contemporary Eastern Christian worship. \nMay 15\, 2022 | Rockefeller Memorial Chapel  (5850 S. Woodlawn Ave. Chicago\, IL 60637) \n4:00 PM   Keynote Address \n“Singing the Sacred: Music and the Holy in Ancient Christianity\,” by Susan Ashbrook Harvey\, Brown University \nWhy were hymns important for ancient Christianity? What did music add to poetry? Singing was an indelible part of daily life in the ancient Mediterranean world: in household and civic spaces\, in celebrations\, in mourning\, and in religious devotions of all kinds. In the New Testament\, singing hymns was fundamental to early Christian worship. Why did hymns matter? How did Christians in antiquity render singing sacred for their own purposes\, able to articulate their own distinctive religious truths? What could make music “holy”? And how? \n5:00 PM  Icons of Sound: Concert with Cappella Romana \nThe internationally renowned musical group Cappella Romana presents their concert “Icons of Sound” featuring pieces composed by the 9th century nun Kassia and interpretations of medieval Byzantine chant for the feast of the Holy Cross in Constantinople. \nMay 16\, 2022 | Swift Hall Common Room (1025 E. 58th St.\, Chicago\, IL 60637) \n9:00 AM – 12:00 PM  Symposium presentations \nPresentations in this sympsosium include: \nBrian Dunkle\, “New Songs and Ancient Instruction: The Early Reception of Ambrose’s Hymns.” \nAshley Purpura\, “Liturgical Name-Calling: Gender\, Power\, Performance\, and the Akathistos Hymn” \nAndrew Summerson\, “Christ the Sea Monster: How Hymns Rephrase Patristic Thought on Jonah” \nErin G. Walsh\, “Women and the Embodiment of Virtue in Syriac Poetry” \nJeffrey Wickes\, “The Voices of the Martyrs’ Mothers in Syriac Liturgical Poetry” \n\nThis program is made possible through a Vital Worship Grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship\, Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, with funds provided by Lilly Endowment Inc. This program is cosponsored by the Divinity School at the University of Chicago and the Department of Theology at the University of Notre Dame.

SUMMARY:The Vocation of the Patristic Theologian: Inheriting the Voice of Early Christians
DESCRIPTION:This forum and reception\, following the annual meeting of the North American Patristics Society\, is co-sponsored by the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. \nThis forum invites graduate students and scholars of patristics to reflect on the nature of the craft and its relationship to contemporary theological studies\, the academy\, and church today. A panel of scholars\, featuring John Cavadini\, Lewis Ayres\, Ellen Scully\, and Bogdan Bucur\, will speak on the nature of the vocation of the Patristic theologian and the challenges and opportunities one faces in research\, scholarship\, and teaching. We will further attend to the question of how patristic theologians participate in a fuller reception of the depth and the breadth of the Christian intellectual tradition in an ecumenical key\, as well as provide opportunities for common reflection among the participants on the work of making present the Christian past.
