It is no secret: the body of Christ in the United States
is broken. Division and disunity prevail. Effects of this
brokenness are by now familiar, especially at a place like
Notre Dame. Only rarely does a genuinely diverse group
of Catholics come together to name our wounds—with
the goal of beginning to heal. Come hear this distinguished
panel address the question: How can we heal the division
and reestablish the virtues of solidarity, love, and humility
at the heart of the Christian message?
The panel discussion is the opening session of an invited conference of
the same name, taking place April 27–28, 2015 at Notre Dame.
