SUMMARY:Conversations: How Do We Listen to the Spirit? — Session 1
DESCRIPTION:Standing on the foundation of Vatican II teachings\, how do we listen to the voices of the Spirit? \nAs we hear the voices of those who are marginalized\, as we strive to build mutual understanding and find common ground in a polarized world\, what resources can we use to resolve issues when voices differ from ours? How should science inform our teaching at the intersections of faith and science? How do we see Vatican II and synodality coming together in practical\, local ways? \nPlease join AUSCP as we explore these questions in our final series for the Vatican II Working Group’s three-year program. We welcome your voice\, even if you have not attended previous sessions. Help us hear new perspectives. \nTo focus our discussions on how we listen to the Spirit\, we will consider two questions: \n\nWhen we encounter differences\, how do we embrace them synodally?\nWhat resources do we consult?

SUMMARY:Everything is Connected: Laudato Si’\, Teilhard de Chardin\, and Catholic Social Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Ten years ago\, Pope Francis challenged us to hear both the “cry of the earth and the cry of the poor” as his groundbreaking encyclical letter Laudato Si’ offered a hopeful vision that called us to care for “our common home” and reminded us that “everything is connected.” Decades earlier\, Rev. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin\, S.J.\, a French Jesuit priest and scientist\, challenged us to see the interconnectedness of all life. This dialogue will explore this call to make connections\, drawing on the teachings of Pope Francis and the life and writings of Teilhard de Chardin\, depicted in the recent film Teilhard: Visionary Scientist. \n\nFour respected leaders with differing experiences and expertise will examine how Catholic social teaching themes found in both Laudato Si’ and Teilhard de Chardin’s work offer a moral framework for addressing the ecological crises of our time and fostering a deeper sense of solidarity with all of creation. The dialogue will explore how Catholic social teaching can inspire transformative action to care for all of God’s creation. \nKim Daniels\, director of the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life and member of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication\, will moderate the dialogue. \nThis gathering is co-sponsored by Georgetown’s Berkley Center for Religion\, Peace\, and World Affairs. \nRecording\nThe dialogue starting at 6:00 p.m. EDT will be recorded and posted online for later viewing.
