Join us for a special evening with Meghan Sullivan, UVA alum and now University of Notre Dame Professor of Philosophy. Professor Sullivan will lecture on her new book The Good Life Method: Reasoning through the Big Questions of Happiness, Faith, and Meaning (2022), which challenges us to ask the big questions about faith and what makes life meaningful. All are invited to attend, so bring a friend or come to meet someone new.
Cosponsored with The Center for Christian Study and the UVA Catholic Hoos.
This public lecture is made possible through the support of grant #62372 from the John Templeton Foundation, “In Lumine: Promoting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide."
The 1994 and 2009 African bishop synods in Rome reflected on the vocation of the African Church towards the Universal Church. Fr. Michael Niba will discuss the events of these synods and how they inspired not only the papal exhortations Ecclesia in Africa (1995) and Africae Munus (2011), but also the ongoing efforts of forming and educating the Church in Cameroon. Fr. Niba is incoming Dean of Humanities Faculty at the Catholic University in Cameroon, and a Research Scholar at the School of Philosophy and the McLean Center at Catholic University as well as at the Center for Applied Research (CARA) of Georgetown University.
