Blessed are the Merciful: Charity as Sacramental Action

Eck Center Auditorium and Geddes Hall

Registration is required. Conference participation is free and open to the public.

The aim of this conference is to recover the deep sacramental sense that charity once held in the pre-modern church, to explore why it has been minimized in modernity, and to consider how the church might reclaim such a sacramental vision of charity for our own time.

This conference is sponsored by the Institute for Church Life and the Center for Social Concerns, and is co-organized by Professor John C. Cavadini, McGrath-Cavadini Director of the Institute for Church Life, and Professor Gary Anderson, Hesburgh Professor of Catholic Theology, both of the University of Notre Dame. The conference draws its theme from Professor Anderson's forthcoming book, Charity: The Place of the Poor in the Biblical Tradition (Yale, 2013). More information / Register online
