Siena Center Presents Lecture on Nature of Truth

River Forest, IL - Dominican University’s Siena Center will open its fall series on Truth and Consequences with a lecture titled “What’s Truth Got to Do With It?” on Tuesday, September 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Priory Campus, 7200 W. Division Street, River Forest.

William Cahoy, dean of the School of Theology and Seminary at St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN, will explore the understanding of truth in the Catholic tradition and in society in general. He will also discuss ways of differentiating truth from “spin” and provide guidance for pursuing truth in a world of competing political and ideological perspectives.

Cahoy’s research has focused on the work of Soren Kierkegaard, feminist theology, Catholic intellectual tradition and theological education. He was a founding member of the Rhodes Consultation on Church-related colleges and currently serves on the boards of the Louisville Institute, the Society for Arts in Religious and Theological Studies, and Catholic Charities for the Diocese of Saint Cloud, MN.

The Siena Center will continue its Truth and Consequences series with a lecture by award-winning Boston Globe columnist and author James Carroll (An American Requiem: God, My Father, and the War That Came Between Us, House of War: The Pentagon and the Disastrous Rise of American Power, Toward a New Catholic Church: The Promise of Reform) on Thursday, September 27.

Admission for this lecture is $10.00. For more information on Dominican University’s Siena Center, please call (708) 714-9105 or visit the website at www.siena.dom.edu.

Dominican University established the Siena Center to engage the critical issues of church and society in the light of faith and scholarship. The center was named for St. Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century laywoman who worked for the reform of the church and justice in the world. Her passionate devotion to the central issues of church and society inspires the work of the center in its schedule of lectures, symposia, workshops, retreats, research and seminars.
