Bring your brain to church!
In a previous age, thinking the faith was the job of church leaders. That time has passed. The Church will not survive except as an educated community. I have always thought that the unofficial motto of St. Jerome’s University was, “Bring your faith to school, and bring your brain to church.” Just as the university is enriched by the spiritual and moral values of faith, the church is best served by followers who develop a mature and deep conversation between faith and reason–as Pope Benedict has encouraged. In that spirit, we invite you this year to bring your faith to these lectures and to bring what you learn here to your community. It promises to be an exciting year!
