The Justice in the World conference will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the World Synod of Bishops’ prophetic vision by examining the justice issues proclaimed by the Gospel and addressed by modern Catholic social thought. The conference will focus in particular on issues central to the document: racism, ecclesial and political structures, work, internationalization, and the environment.
Please join this gathering of global scholars working to expand Catholic social tradition through intellectual, artistic, and social engagement.
