What's Happening

August 12, 2024, Adrian, Michigan – A Consistent Ethic of Life: Navigating Catholic Engagement with U.S. Politics is the subject of a livestream presentation by Steven P. Millies, Professor of Public Theology and Director of the Bernardin Center at Catholic Theological Union (CTU) in Chicago. The presentation is from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, September 5, 2024, and is offered by Weber Retreat and Conference Center.

The consistent ethic of life is a fully Catholic engagement with the difficult challenges that conscience encounters in our time. Professor Millies surveys the development of this ethic from its beginnings and engages today’s political questions to help his audience rediscover the consistent ethic now in this challenging, divided moment of our history.

Professor Millies studied political theory at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He held the Strom Thurmond Endowed Chair in Political Science at the University of South Carolina, Aiken. A Consistent Ethic of Life (Paulist Press) is his third book. 

The cost is $35 and registration is required to view the livestream. Visit www.webercenter.org and click on “programs,” call 517-266-4000, or email webercenter@adriandominicans.org. Limited scholarships are available.
