“The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?”   -Dorothy Day

If restoring society must start with us, then it needs to start with the heart. How can we understand ‘heart’ as an anthropological and theological category without falling into sentimentalism? What is needed for a change of heart? What kind of society would a change of heart bring about?

Join us for this next module of the Faith & Reason series as we engage with thinkers like Martin Luther King Jr, Dorothy Day, St. Augustine, Corita Kent, and others to delve into this vital conversation.

The Faith & Reason seminar takes an intentionally interdisciplinary approach, bringing together voices from theology, philosophy, poetry, fiction and the arts. This allows us to probe the theological imagination, to try to understand the relationship between faith and reason, and to seek a better understanding of the world and the transcendent.
