Explore how specific topics relate to your faith over thought-provoking discussions.
Politics and the Common Good
All students, faculty and staff, and other interested persons—of any faith persuasion or none—are invited to join this group discussion of the new possibilities that the concept of “the Common Good” can open within our polarized political discourse. We will meet on Fridays for lunch and discussion of the issues raised by a chapter in Human Dignity and Liberal Politics: Catholic Possibilities for the Common Good by Patrick Reardon, SJ, an Oxford University professor of Political Philosophy and Catholic Social Thought. Led by Assistant Chaplain Damon McGraw in collaboration with students.
