A gathering of Catholic student campus leaders, club officers, and fellows to reflect upon our present moment of Christian witness
But the Lord God to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9)
Few would deny that the Church is approaching an inflection point, even while we may disagree about where the Church is and should be headed. At such a moment, it is important to step back to ponder individually and collectively the question posed to Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis, “Where are you?” For Catholic student leaders—Where are young Catholics in the pews and on campuses? Where do we find ourselves amidst various competing frameworks of modernity, and where do we find our identity as Catholics? With two acclaimed keynote speakers, Stephen Bullivant (Theology and Sociology, St. Mary’s University, London) and Angela Franks (Theology, St. John’s Seminary), we will tackle aspects of these questions at the intersection of sociology and theology. We will share experiences of Catholic life at our respective campuses, workshop ideas for engaging fellow students, and find community with one another in worship and friendship.
Keynote lectures and liturgies are open to the public. Other sessions and events are open to registered conference participants. Catholic campus ministries, clubs, and institutes are invited to send student leaders as delegates to this conference. Please e-mail director Elizabeth Lyon Hall (ell67@cornell.edu) to learn more and ask about sending a group.
A registration form for Individual participants and those interested in attending the public lectures will be available soon.
