SUMMARY:Fall Shapiro Lecture - Ranana L. Dine Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Ranana L. Dine Ph.D. \n“Surely Bury: Jewish and Catholic Law\, Responding to Suicide\, and the Work of Catholic-Jewish Studies” \nWhen it comes to tricky questions of ethics and law\, Jewish and Catholic traditions at times converge\, and at times develop distinct approaches. In the history of Jewish and Catholic responses to suicide both patterns emerge. Both Judaism and Catholicism historically denied religious burial and funeral rites to those who had committed suicide on theological grounds. As modern conceptions of mental illness and pastoral care developed however\, both moved towards holding more compassionate responses to suicide\, including allowing religious burial. The ways each tradition changed its legal practice surrounding suicide reveals differences in Jewish and Catholic legal method\, and open the door to potentially contrasting responses to the legalization of physician-aid-in-dying (currently being debated in the Illinois State Senate). The comparison between Jewish and Catholic law regarding burial after suicide can help us think through the larger work and methods of Catholic-Jewish studies. Thus the talk will conclude with a discussion of how the study of Judaism\, and particularly deep ethical issues within it\, can illuminate developments in Catholic studies (and vice versa) and how that work will inspire the future program for the Catholic-Jewish studies program at Catholic Theological Union.

SUMMARY:Seventh Annual Paul Wattson Lecture: Grace as Pedagogy: Theology\, Critical Theory\, and the Struggle Against Empire
DESCRIPTION:What if grace is more than a doctrine—it’s a way of teaching and living? This lecture explores the clash between the “pedagogies of empire\,” which teach control and exclusion\, and the “pedagogy of grace\,” which opens space for dignity\, dialogue\, and transformation. Drawing from Paulo Freire and Christian theology\, the lecture shows how grace becomes a practice of resistance and renewal\, empowering communities to live differently. Together\, we will imagine how the church and academy can embody grace as a way of learning\, leading\, and witnessing in a world marked by injustice.

SUMMARY:Reseeding Religious Life through the Global Sisterhood
DESCRIPTION:As the Center celebrates its 10th year we invite you to a book launch. \n\nThe Center for the Study of Consecrated Life which celebrates its 10th year was founded to support research and publications regarding contemporary issues in religious life today. CSCL sponsors programs and events that bring together men and women religious from around the world to dialogue about the realities and changes of religious vocation.\n\n10 Years\n\n\n\nThe story of religious life over the centuries displays two enduring qualities: constancy and change. God’s love is constant\, as is the changing state of the human condition lived on earth\, our common home. Each generation of religious is faced with reading the signs of the times to faithfully navigate the intersection of constancy and change. In this event\, a few of the sister authors share perspectives on their rich heritage while continuing to till the soil of religious life with their encounters\, transforming and deepening their charismatic identity with each conversation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPEAKERS

SUMMARY:Presidential Search Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends\, \nYou have now heard that our President\, Barbara Reid\, OP\, will be passing the torch as president and will turn her focus again to biblical scholarship as a CTU faculty member at the end of this academic year. A search committee to find her replacement as president has been formed\, with representatives drawn from the Board of Trustees\, CTU Corporation Members\, the faculty\, students\, Life Trustees\, and donors. \nThe first task of the search committee is to craft a description of the role of the president in 2025 and beyond\, recognizing that the role has changed in some subtle and not-so-subtle ways since the date Sr. Barbara took office. \nTo inform that process\, the search committee has elected to convene a listening session based on the synodal model\, Conversations in the Spirit. Participants will come together to pray\, share\, and listen to one another\, inviting the Holy Spirit to guide us along the way. \nThe session will take place on Tuesday\, November 19\, from 4:00-6:00 pm (Central time). You are invited to participate in this facilitated listening session either in person at CTU or on Zoom. \nWe value all voices that wish to contribute to a definition of the role of CTU’s president at this point in the 21st century. I am sure Sr. Barbara’s announcement has evoked reflections of her many accomplishments and challenges during her tenure. We want to channel and distill those reflections as we journey to seek her successor. \nI look forward to seeing many of you at the session. \nTom Brown \nChair\, CTU Board of Trustees

SUMMARY:Fall Shapiro Lecture
DESCRIPTION:What Bible\, Whose Bible:  Studying the Scripture of Others \n“The” Bible does not exist. Different religious communities have different Bibles\, with different books\, in different orders\, and different languages—and this matters.  How can we be fully sensitive to these when we study the scriptures of others?  By reflecting on The Jewish Annotated New Testament and The Bible With and Without Jesus\, Dr. Brettler will explore how we may maintain our own beliefs and commitments while still being attentive to others. \n

SUMMARY:26th Annual Louis J. Luzbetak\, SVD\, Lecture on Mission and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Annual lecture to be held on October 8\, 2024 in CTU 210 B&C \nThe Pyramid Beneath a Church: Causing Muted Signs to Speak in Inculturation\nStanding at the historic center of Cholula\, Mexico\, is a Spanish medieval Catholic church built over a decidedly larger ancient Aztec pyramid\, memorializing the latter’s conquest under the power of the cross. In the art of inculturation\, the sign of the “vanquished pyramid” and its resonances in postcolonial cultures of the Global South\, kindle the interpretive impulse to drill down on anthropological and religio-cultural layers that had been silenced by the sentence of colonial missionary history. What are some creative analytical approaches in a contextual theologian’s tool chest to cause muted signs to speak anew? The apostolic exhortation Querida Amazonia (2020) advocates for a “renewed inculturation” where the Church is admonished to listen to ancestral wisdom\, the voices of the elders\, and the rich stories of the original communities. This study proposes a semiotic moment toward Pope Francis’ reconciling vision of inculturation. \n_______ \nAntonio D. Sison\, CPPS\, is Professor of Systematic Theology and Culture\, and Vatican Council II Chair of Theology\, at Catholic Theological Union. His latest authored books are The Art of Indigenous Inculturation: Grace on the Edge of Genius (Orbis Books\, 2021) and Deep Inculturation: Global Voices on Christian faith and Indigenous Genius (as editor and contributor; Orbis Books\, 2024). \n“The Pyramid Beneath a Church: Causing Muted Silence to Speak Inculturation”\n4:00 p.m. — Welcome and acknowledgement of the indigenous people of the land by Roger Schroeder\n4:05 p.m. – Welcome by Ferdinand Okorie\n4:08 p.m. – 45-minute lecture by Antonio Sison\n4:55 p.m. – Q&A\n5:15 p.m. – closing and reception \nParking is available\, Admission is free\, This event is also on zoom

Her current research interests include synodality and exploring how Roman Catholic communities may more fully imitate Christ’s kenotic vulnerability. \n  \n“‘To Know and Love One Another’: Spirituality for a Synodal Church”\nIn his 1964 encyclical Ecclesiam Suam\, Paul VI encouraged the church to humble self-examination that fosters spiritual renewal. By acknowledging the distance between many ecclesial realities and more ideal forms of the church\, Paul pointed to the importance of the church’s continual conversion to Christ not simply for its own sake\, but also for the fulfillment of the church’s mission. Similarly\, ongoing renewal is essential in Pope Francis’s vision of a synodal church. The insights of both popes underscore the need for synodal spiritual practices that nurture the church’s conversion for communion and mission. \nThis event is ONLINE Only

How can a biblical sense of kairos help our prophetic eco-justice mission of caring for God’s creation today? \n\n\n\n\nDr. Barbara Rossing\nRev.

SUMMARY:Book Event - Bible\, Interpretation\, and Context: Reading Meaning from an African Perspective
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS BOOK\n\n\nThis book is a collection of essays that contribute to the debate on the contextual interpretation of scripture from an African context. The book engages biblical narratives from the lived experiences of Africans\, insisting that meaning is attained only when people bring their daily experiences into their reading of scripture. The contributors examine the interaction of African peoples with the Bible in juxtaposition with the forces of colonialism\, neocolonialism\, patriarchy\, war\, and bad governance. This book gives voice to the lived experiences of African peoples in their quest for full expression of the profundity of their union with God by aiding them to unmask inhumanity and indignity. \n\n\n  \nGuests \n\n\nProf James Okoye\, Honoree\nProf Lyn Osiek\nProf Steve Bevans\nProf Mark Enemali\nProf Barbara Reid \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n■ Location\nONLINE & IN-PERSON \n  \n■ Registration\nRegistration is required

SUMMARY:The Synodal Way\, Going Forward: A Synod Debrief Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Synod Debrief Conversation\n\n\nFrom October 4-29\, delegates from around the world gathered in Rome for concluding conversations in the Synod on Synodality.

How can the Church be a force for LGBTQ+ protection and inclusion? What is the Church’s response to world-wide immigration concerns? These and many more topics were brought to the fore by delegates representing parishes\, religious orders\, and other Catholic organizations who participated in earlier Synodal conversations and stages. On November 13\, Catholic Theological Union is hosting a post-synod conversation with some of the key players in these conversations.

SUMMARY:The Louis J. Luzbetak\, SVD Lecture 2023
DESCRIPTION:Where is the Center of World Christianity Today? The Five Frontiers of Mission and Theology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis lecture contests some of the settled claims about the shifting center of Christianity from the West to the Global South\, particularly that Africa is the new center of Christianity. The lecturer engages some of the new methodologies for studying the shifting momentum of Christian expansion. The lecture then will identify the five new frontiers of mission and theology today—politics\, peripheries\, ecology\, wealth\, and hope. The question of hope for the victims of history becomes a necessary theological and missional task for theology and the Christian movement in answering the perennial question: Where is God in all of this? Answering this in the face of these new frontiers will be presented as the center around which mission should revolve. \n  \nOnline & In-Person \n\n\n\n\nCatholic Theological Union\, Room 210 \n5416 South Cornell Avenue\, Chicago\, Illinois 60615 \n\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the Louis J. Luzbetak Lecture \nThe Louis J. Luzbetak\, SVD\, Chair of Mission and Culture was endowed by the Chicago Province of the Society of the Divine Word in order to highlight the important link between mission\, Christianity\, and culture\, which has been a key element of its charism since the late nineteenth century. The chair and annual lectureship appropriately bears the name of Fr. Louis Luzbetak\, SVD (1918-2005)\, cultural anthropologist and ecumenically-recognized pioneer in the field of missionary anthropology. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the CTU Committee of World Mission
