LIM presents lecture and workshop

Loyola Institute for Ministry presents the Rev. Bernard Lee, S.M., Th.D., in a lecture and workshop titled "Dorothy Day: Woman of Faith." The free public lecture will be held on Friday, October 20 at 7 p.m. in Miller Hall, Rooms 112 and 114. The workshop, held on Saturday, October 21, offers one credit hour and one Continuing Education Credit and costs $275. It runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Bobet Hall 219.

Dorothy Day, whose cause for canonization was promoted by Cardinal John O'Connor of New York shortly before his death, is a towering figure of holiness in U.S. Catholicism. The lecture and workshop will investigate how tradition, innovation, external circumstances, and inner gifts collided in this remarkable woman. Those who take this workshop for credit are encouraged to read Dorothy Day's autobiography and/or the Dorothy Day biography by Robert Coles before the workshop begins.

Lee is a professor of theology at LIM. He holds a Th.D. from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California and a Ph.L. from the Universite de Fribourg in Germany. He is a widely acclaimed lecturer and workshop presenter. Lee's most recent book is The Catholic Experience of Small Christian Communities. He is the author of The Becoming of the Church, The Galilean Jewishness of Jesus, Jesus and the Metaphors of God, and The Future Church of 140 BCE. He is the co-author (with Loyola Institute for Ministry Professor Michael Cowan, Ph.D.) of Dangerous Memories and the recent Conversation, Risk, and Conversion.
