Her work has helped spark the movement for reparations and reconciliation in America—and in the Catholic Church. \nProfessor Swarns will talk about her book\, about what the Church—and the United States—must do to help heal our racial divides\, and about what this project has meant for her own faith. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a discussion after the talk\, including questions from the audience. \nSwarns will be available to sign a limited number of books following the program. \nThis lecture is made possible by the Russo Family Foundation in memory of Wanda and Robert Russo Sr.\, M.D.\, FCRH ‘39.

In 1995\, her book was adapted for the screen and became an Academy Award-winning film. And in 2000\, Dead Man Walking premiered as an opera—the most widely performed new opera of the last 20 years. \nThis fall\, the opera makes its premiere at the Metropolitan Opera. In anticipation of that opening\, Sister Prejean will join composer Jake Heggie and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato—who portrays Sister Prejean—at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle for a conversation about the opera and the roles art and faith play in galvanizing social action. \nThe occasion of this production is especially propitious as Pope Francis has declared the death penalty “inadmissible” under Catholic teaching. At the same time\, some states are ramping up efforts to schedule executions even as more death row inmates are exonerated or questions are raised about their convictions. This gives the campaign against capital punishment even greater urgency. \nFordham University president Tania Tetlow will introduce the evening’s guests\, and the Center on Religion and Culture’s director\, David Gibson\, will moderate the discussion. \nThis event is a partnership with the Church of St. Paul the Apostle and the Metropolitan Opera.

DESCRIPTION:Civil religion has been described as a powerful\, shared\, but nondenominational belief in the United States as an exceptional nation\, a city upon a hill that was great because it was good. But today civil religion is coming under scrutiny as some see the angry populism of the Trump era turning the cohesive force of patriotism into blood-and-soil nationalism. \nCan a country in which the national anthem has become a dividing line still rally around civic sacraments and symbols? \nSpeakers\n\nKathleen Flake\, Richard Lyman Bushman Professor of Mormon Studies at University of Virginia\nJohn Carlson\, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Arizona State University and Interim Director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict\nSusan Wise Bauer\, Essayist and Author of the History of the World Series for W.
