WHY THIS SERIES We believe that the reaffirmation of the positive value of reality, and especially of the human person, is crucial to any attempt to do educative and cultural work at this point in time. Speaking of education and culture, if we had to mention a single source of inspiration and a guide to our initiative, that would certainly be Msgr. Giussani, the great Italian priest, educator and theologian, founder of Communion and Liberation, who passed away February 22, 2005. Throughout his ministry, Msgr. Giussani always emphasized that a lived faith must necessarily generate a new culture, which implies both a capacity for a critical knowledge of reality and the appreciation for what is true and beautiful. Hence, it seemed particularly fitting to insert in our program this series of seminars aimed at presenting to the New York public a broad outline of Msgr. Giussani's thought as contained in his major trilogy of books, which has been available in English for a few years. |
