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

SUMMARY:"Ecclesiam Suam at 60: Dialogue and Synodality from Paul VI to Francis" Professor Amanda Osheim (Loras College)
DESCRIPTION:Amanda C. Osheim\, Ph.D. studies the church with a particular focus on the Holy Spirit and discernment. She is Endowed Professor of the Breitbach Catholic Thinkers and Leaders Program and Professor of Practical Theology at Loras College in Dubuque\, IA. Dr. Osheim studied at University of St. Thomas and the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity before earning her doctoral degree in systematic theology at Boston College. Her publications include A Ministry of Discernment: The Bishop and the Sense of the Faithful (Liturgical Press) and “Stepping Towards a Synodal Church” (Theological Studies). 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

SUMMARY:Schreiter Institute 2024 Spring Symposium on Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:“Synodality as Field Hospital” is the theme for the Second Annual Schreiter Institute Spring Symposium on a Praxis of Reconciliation.  The global Church is entering into a culmination of a unique synodal process meant to renew global Catholicism and create a “listening Church”. The presenters and attendees at this symposium will explore together how this synodal process can help bring about Pope Francis’ image of the Church as an authentic “field hospital” that tends to the wounds of creation in global and local contexts. \nThis unique gathering will convene scholars\, theologians\, artists\, and practitioners in a public conversation about the challenges and possibilities for renewing the Catholic Church into a Field Hospital\, through the Synodal process\, that authentically attends to the healing of trauma and moral injury in God’s creation. \nMARIA CIMPERMAN\, RSCJ\,  will provide the keynote presentation on May 9th.

SUMMARY:Spring 2024 Shapiro Lecture with Dr. Michal Bar-Asher Siegal
DESCRIPTION:It’s complicated! Network analysis and Jewish-Christian relationships in the Babylonian Talmud.\n  \nThis talk will introduce a new set of methodological tools for understanding the connections between Jews and Christians in late antiquity. Together with a zoologist\, Prof. Yossi Yovel\, Bar-Asher Siegal will use network analysis\, commonly used in sciences\, to generate models of inter-religious Christian-Jewish networks. Bar-Asher Siegal’s talk will demonstrate the scope\, nature\, and advantages of network analysis for revealing the complex intertwined evolution of the two religions. The network analysis approach is a tool for pointing scholarly research in new directions\, which only reveal themselves as a result of this type of mapping but can also lead us down new and exciting paths that are currently unknown. \n  \nThis event is in-person and online. \nA reception for in-person guests begins at 6:30 CT. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n■ Location\n  \nRev.

This event will be held both in person and virtually on February 29th\, 2024 at 6:00 pm CST. \n  \nEVENT SYNOPSIS\nClimate change presents humanity with a kairos moment\, a critical moment in time when God is leading us into decisive action. Almost forty years ago\, the 1985 South African Kairos Document issued a prophetic word about apartheid. More recently\, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has named the climate crisis as a kairos\, a term the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and others have also now adopted. 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. Dr. Barbara Rossing has taught New Testament at LSTC for 30 years\, where she also serves as the seminary’s Environmental Ministry coordinator. Her biblical scholarly work focuses on the apocalyptic book of Revelation.

SUMMARY:24th Annual Tolton Lecture "If Not for the Women"
DESCRIPTION:The contributions of the women to the mission and growth of the Church are understated. If Not for the Women\, engages the role of women in the Salvation story of the Christian movement supported by scripture and historical narratives. The cultural context of the role of Black women in the evangelization mission of Kingdom building is explored. \nThe Augustus Tolton Pastoral Ministry Scholarship Program was established in 1990 in partnership with the Archdiocese of Chicago and Catholic Theological Union.  It was developed to meet the growing needs of African American Catholics in the Archdiocese of Chicago.  It provides an opportunity for African Americans to receive academic\, personal\, spiritual and professional education and training in preparation for professional ministry within the Archdiocese of Chicago. \nThe Tolton Program was named after Fr. Augustus Tolton\, born in 1854\, ordained in 1866\, who was the first recognized African-American priest in the United States. A tireless minister and man of God\, Fr. Tolton died on July 8\, 1897.  The cause for canonization was opened in 2010 for Servant of God Augustus Tolton.  The legacy of Fr. Augustus Tolton is evident today through the commitment of men and women of African ancestry who are currently pursuing theological studies at Catholic Theological Union.

SUMMARY:St. Miles: A New Play on Black Sainthood by Jarrett King
DESCRIPTION:The Schreiter Institute at Catholic Theological Union Presents: A Staged Reading of “St. Miles”; A New Play on Black Sainthood by Jarrett King. St. Miles is a fictional narrative that playwright Jarrett King summarizes in this way: “What are protests if not a form of prayer? \nSt. Miles is a fictional narrative that playwright Jarrett King summarizes in this way: “What are protests if not a form of prayer? Five years ago\, the Ellis family lost one of its members\, a young Black man named Miles\, to an act of police violence. Now Miles’s mother Opal wants him to be recognized as a saint.  As the Ellises navigate the arduous canonization process\, the family clashes and battle lines are drawn. Is true salvation on the other side of it all? There are 10\,000 saints in the Catholic Church—not one of them is African American. Yet.” \nCTU will host a reading of the play\, St. Miles\, with professional actors. There will be one intermission. And there will be a Q&A discussion afterwards with the playwright. Refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Winter 2024 Shapiro Lecture with Dr. Joel Kaminsky
DESCRIPTION:Sibling Rivals: How the Idea of Chosenness Unites and Divides Jews and Christians\n  \nThe idea that God specially chose the people of Israel is central to the theology of the Hebrew Bible yet is among the most maligned and misunderstood biblical concepts. This talk aims to introduce major aspects of the Hebrew Bible’s election theology by highlighting how early Christian and ancient rabbinic sources adopted various facets of the biblical idea of chosenness in unique and at times inverse ways\, leaving Jews and Christians both united and divided by the scriptural heritage they share. \nThe Winter Shapiro Lecture will be offered Virtually. \nThe Lecture will begin at 7:00 CT. \nPlease register below to receive the event link. \n  \n\n\n

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

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.
