Wednesday, December 7, 2011 from 12:05-1:30 p.m. in UC Forum B
“Future historians of Christianity will no doubt judge liberation theology to be the most influential movement of the twentieth century, possibly even since the Reformation. They certainly will painstakingly document its emergence as independent theological movements in the late 1960s and will marvel at its spectacular expansion throughout the entire ecumene in a matter of just a couple of decades.”
(Peter C. Phan, Christianity with An Asian Face: Asian American Theology in the Making, Maryknoll, NY, Orbis, 2003, 26.)

"Discerning the Common Good in a Time of Economic Flux and Change"

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the UC Forum AB
Despite the considerable federal collectivist activities to try and halt the economic downturn, the debates that were raised in the recent election campaigns, particularly with the emergence of groups such as the Tea Party movement suggest that across the state and country alike tensions are re-emerging in relation to the sense of what constitutes the ‘common good’ for our communities and wider society. But the Common Good is a cornerstone of Catholic Social Thought and Practice and is found in analogous forms in the other major world faiths. How should such traditions respond to recent developments? These and related issues were addressed in a roundtable panel discussion.
Co-sponsored by the School of Business Administration.
