Hello Fellow Graduate Students & Young Professionals, The first summer meeting of Emerging Catholic Professionals will be on Tuesday, June 9th, at 6:30pm in the rectory of St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center. We will be meeting to discuss the topic of the nature and role Catholic Universities in the life of the Church. This is a timely topic, in light of President Obama's recent graduation address at Notre Dame and the controversy surrounding it, and we hope you will join us to discuss it. Father Steve Beseau of the St. Lawrence Center has kindly agreed to share his thoughts on this issue with us, and as a point of reference for our discussion I am attaching to this email a copy of Ex Corde Ecclesiae, the document issued by Pope John Paul II on Catholic universities in 1990. Hopefully this will give us a framework in which to discuss issues of Catholic identity and what role universities like Notre Dame play not only vis-a-vis the Church but also vis-a-vis contemporary society as well. (Don't worry if you can't get to read all of it, by the way; reading the introduction will give you a basic idea of what the pope was talking about, and its not like its a homework assignment.) We will be providing beer and wine for everyone, and perhaps a few snacks, and we would much appreciate it if you would bring a few dollars to cover the cost or perhaps some food to share in lieu of that. We look forward to seeing you. Pax Christi,Darrick Taylor Ph.D Candidate, British History 727 Arkansas Street Lawrence, KS 66044785-840-6169
