to know more about the Program Newman Symposium november 2010
John Henry Newman (1801-1890), will be declared blessed by Pope Benedict XVI on 19 September 2010, is one of the most profound Christian thinkers of modern times and continues to touch the minds and consciences of people today. As a passionate seeker after the Truth and tireless promoter of human and Christian culture, as a true father of souls and a faithful son of the Church he linked depth of thought with a moving testimony of life, always giving primacy to God.
This Symposium aims to show the meaning and actuality of his search for God (First Session) taking into account some contemporary challenges (Second Session) and giving value to his deep spirituality (Third Session) that calls to mission (Fourth Session). The lecturers, chosen from among the most renowned Newman scholars at an international level, address in different ways the great question of God that moves the hearts of men and women of all times.
There will be simultaneous translation.
