“The
world...despite innumerable signs of the denial of God, is
nevertheless searching for Him in unexpected ways and painfully experiencing
the need of Him. The world is calling for evangelizers to speak to it of a God
whom the evangelists themselves should know and be familiar with as if they
could see the invisible.”
Listen to Archbishop Perez' 4-minute teaching on the Eucharist as part of his Go Forth text message project! (phillydisciples.org/goforth)

Event: Just Responsibility: Natural Intelligence in a World of A.I.
Join Collegium Institute's Magi Project for Science and Theology at 7pm on Thursday, July 13 for a lecture by Prof. Jennifer Herdt.
This lecture, entitled "Just Responsibility: Natural Intelligence in a World of A.I.," will explore understandings of the human person that can equip us for life in a world in which our long-cherished cognitive superiority over other life-forms seems to have been eclipsed by new forms of intelligence neither constrained by body finitude nor conditioned by organic limits. Professor Herdt argues that reclaiming our animality can help correct rationalistic and individualistic conceptions of human agency, frame fuller understandings of what it is to be caring, responsible agents, and point the way forward to living well with our finite, natural forms of intelligence.
