SUMMARY:Natural Religion and the American Founding
DESCRIPTION:The CIC invites you to our upcoming program on June 25th\, “Natural Religion and the American Founding\,” presented by Edward J. Furton\, MA\, PhD\, Director of Publications at The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC). \nThank you to both NCBC and the Elizabeth Bayley Seton Assembly #1781 of the Knights of Columbus for co-sponsoring this session. \nThe talk be offered both in-person and virtually through a livestream. All in-person attendees will receive a free book (courtesy of NCBC) in honor of the nation’s upcoming semiquincentennial\, Scholasticism in the Colonial Colleges by James J. Walsh. \nAbout this Session: \nAn Argumentative Strategy Grounded in Historical Fact that Justifies the Return of the Founding Truths to American Public Life \nDr. Furton delves into the educational background of the American Founders\, who were educated in the scholastic tradition of the Middle Ages\, as James J. Walsh shows in Scholasticism in the Colonial Colleges. Like Christians of the medieval era\, they were taught to distinguish between faith and reason\, a distinction crucial to our political union in 1776. \nThe colonies were at odds with each other over the doctrinal teachings of Christianity. The representatives at the Second Continental Congress set aside these differences and returned to what they had learned in the colleges. They joined the nation under theological and moral truths that are agreeable to reason. These convictions are the first principles of our political union\, are not subject to church-state separation\, and must be restored to our nation’s public life. \nSchedule: \n\n6:40 pm EDT: Doors open for registrant check-in\n7:00 pm EDT: “Natural Religion and the American Founding” presentation by Dr. Furton (this portion will be offered both in-person and virtually via a livestream)\n8:00 pm EDT: Light reception\n8:30 pm EDT: Conclusion\n\nRSVP today!
