Catholicism for a New Millennium is a committee, made up mostly of Gonzaga University professors, who bring speakers -- of the progressive Catholic kind -- to campus. (Disclosure: I'm also a member of the committee.)
The GU profs are the ones with the great contacts, though, and the lineup of speakers for the spring is impressive, my bias notwithstanding. Here's the schedule. All events are free and open to the public.
Thursday Jan. 29, 7:30 p.m. Fr. J. Bryan Hehir. Topic: "How can the church witness for social justice?" Location: GU Law School.
Monday Feb. 23, 7:30 p.m. Clare Nolan. Topic: "Trafficking in Women and Children: A Challenge for the Church." Location: GU Law School.
Thursday March 4, 7:30 p.m. Fr. Thomas Massaro, S.J. Topic: "Welfare Reform: A War on Poverty or the Poor?" Location: GU Law School.
Tuesday March 25, 7:30 p.m. Elizabeth Johnson. Topic: "Our Sister Mary: A Feminist/Theological Reading." Location: Cataldo Dining Hall on GU campus.
Monday April 19, 7:30 p.m. Peter Steinfels. "The Crisis of the Roman Catholic Church in America." Location: Cataldo Dining Room.
