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:CANCELED: Panel on Joseph Singer’s "Persuasion"
DESCRIPTION:Due to restrictions put in place in response to the spread of COVID-19\, this event has been postponed. We look forward to scheduling similar programming in the future.\nLawyers have techniques to persuade decision-makers about what the law should be\, using arguments based on common values\, storytelling\, and framing to help us see our own values in a new light. These tools of reasoned argument enable us to engage in civil debate about divisive issues and to justify decisions in hard cases. Joseph Singer’s book\, Persuasion: Getting to the Other Side\, categorizes the arguments that lawyers use in debates about ambiguous or contested legal questions. It also explains how judges justify their decisions about what the law should be when the case involves competing values and there are plausible arguments on both sides. This panel will bring together judges\, lawyers and legal scholars to engage in discussion over Singer’s Persuasion\, and explore how the tools of persuasion can mitigate polarization in contemporary legal and political discourse.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: The Recovered Image: C.S. Lewis\, J.R.R. Tolkien\, and the Inklings
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen personal reasons\, Carol & Philip Zaleski’s visit has been postponed. We hope to reschedule this event for a future date. \nThursday\, March 31\, 7:00pm\nUniversity of Chicago\, Location TBA \nCarol & Philip Zaleski (Smith College) \nREGISTER HERE \ncosponsored by the Seminary Co-op Bookstore \nThe literary historian\, novelist and critic C. S. Lewis is the most widely read Christian writer of his century and ours; the philologist J.R.R. Tolkien our most beloved mythmaker. For three decades\, they and their closest associates (including the philosopher of language Owen Barfield and the eccentric fantasist Charles Williams) formed a literary club known as the Inklings\, which met every week in Lewis’s Magdalen College rooms and nearby Oxford pubs. They read aloud works in progress\, drank\, argued\, and encouraged one another to write the kind of books they loved to read — even if it meant bucking modernist trends. Philip and Carol Zaleski\, co-authors of The Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings\, will present the literary and spiritual project of the Inklings as one of recovery rather than reaction: recovery of the living tradition of Christian humanism in the face of war\, environmental degradation\, and secular indifference.
