What Shall I Render? The Installation of Dean Terrence L. Johnson

Events are in person.

A panel of internationally respected scholars will invite attendees to consider what theology teaches when individual and collective suffering is intensified by state violence, public betrayal, and economic injustice. Panelists will examine themes of prophetic witness, social holiness, public responsibility, and the Ignatian call to become “contemplatives in action.” How can public theologians, clergy, and scholars guide communities to discern truth, resist despair, and act with courage, mercy, and justice?

Moderator: Robert M. Franklin Jr., James T. and Berta R. Laney Professor in Moral Leadership, Candler School of Theology at Emory University

Panelists:

• Claudio Burgaleta, SJ, rector of the Jesuit Community at Boston College
• Marc Gopin, director of the Center for World Religions, Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution (CRDC), the James H. Laue Professor at the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University
• Susannah Heschel, Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College and chair of the Jewish Studies Program
• Jennifer S. Leath, associate professor of Black religions at Queen’s University
