An ecumenical group of religious historians and other scholars will convene at the University of Notre Dame’s McKenna Hall on Dec. five-6 (Thursday-Friday) for a conference titled “Catholics and Mormons: A New Dialogue.”
The conference will check out relationships amid Catholics and Mormons as their churches are increasingly allied in common social, political and relief efforts. Its themes will incorporate “The Lay of the Land: Modern Mormonism and Catholicism,” “Catholicism and Mormonism in Historical Context,” “Revelation: Scriptures, Traditions, and Authoritative Teachings” and “Theologies of Experience, Unity, and Diversity.”
The conference will start at five p.m. Dec. five (Thursday) in the McKenna Hall auditorium with a keynote address by Terryl Givens, James A. Bostwick Professor of English at the University of Richmond. A scholar of 19th-century literature and literary concept, Givens also is the author of several books and content articles on Mormon history, culture and theology.
“Catholics and Mormons: A New Dialogue” is sponsored by Notre Dame’s Rooney Center for the Study of American Democracy, Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism, the Center for the Research of Religion and Society and by Brigham Youthful University’s Wheatley Institution and Religious Schooling plan.
