Rev. Dan Groody, C.S.C., and Rev. Paul Kollman, C.S.C.,
to deliver annual Moreau Lectures at King's, Feb. 26
February 20, 2008 – Rev. Dan Groody, C.S.C., and Rev. Paul Kollman, C.S.C., of the Indiana Province of Holy Cross and professors at the University of Notre Dame will deliver the 29th Annual Moreau Lectures at King's College on Tuesday, Feb. 26.
Both lectures, which will address the theme “Crossing Borders of Every Sort,” will be held in the Burke Auditorium of The William G. McGowan School of Business on North River Street . Both lectures are free and open to the public; parking will be available at on-campus lots.
At 11 a.m., Father Kollman will present "Why Be King If You Can Be a Missionary: Catholic Evangelization in a Tolerant Age." Drawing upon his extensive research on the experience of the Church in Africa, particularly the evangelization of Africa during periods of extensive slave trade, Father Kollman will examine a new vision of what it means for the Church to be a missionary community.
At 3:30 p.m., Father Groody will discuss "Dying to Live: A Theology of Immigration." Drawing on his pastoral experience among Latino immigrants, his intensive study of Latino spirituality, and the production of video documentaries on the plight of Latino immigrants, Father Groody will explore the theological, cultural and political issues that emerge out of and impact on the experience of immigrants.
The Moreau Lecture Series brings renowned theologians to the King's College campus to address issues of social justice, peace, morality, Catholic identity, the role of women in the Catholic Church, as well as other subjects relevant to the lives of students, Catholics and all other people concerned with the significant issues facing the Church and society today.
The King's College Moreau Lecture program is named in honor of Father Basil Anthony Moreau, founder of the Holy Cross Community that established King's College.
