Dear Friends,
Next week, I will be attending the meeting of the Fellows of the Dominican School of the Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley. As one of the newer Fellows, I have been asked to make a short presentation.
For those who might live in northern California and for others who might access some of the proceedings from the DSPT website, below is the school's announcement:
Friday, January 28, 2011, 1:30 - 5:00 pm:
DSPT College of Fellows Presentations:
"The Gift of Catholic Imagination for Professional Life"
We would like to cordially invite everyone to presentations by members of the DSPT College of Fellows on the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, January 28, 2011 from 1:30 to 5pm.
Fellows are lay Catholics serious about their faith and of distinguished competence in their respective field. Each of the Fellows who present will briefly highlight certain major challenges within their field of professional endeavor, indicate how the gift of a Catholic worldview and imagination aids them in addressing these challenges, and suggest dimensions where current Catholic scholarship, teaching, and preaching could provide support and clarification. The presentations are meant to instigate a discussion among the faculty, the students and the broader interested public. The presentations are free and open to all, and will take place at the DSPT, 2301 Vine Street, Berkeley.
Let me remind you that Randy has posted materials from our audio archives to our weblog and to the streaming media page of our main website, and that the latest excerpt from the Scriptorium draft is here. Send along your feedback, and Randy and I will discuss it in one of the occasional split-screen videos which we will be posting to the website.
As always, we thank you most sincerely for your friendship, your prayers and your generosity.
Affectionately,
Gil Bailie

The Cornerstone Forum
According to then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, the coincidence of
theology and anthropology constitutes "the truly most exciting part of Christian faith."
The Cornerstone Forum is a product of that excitement and an effort to communicate it to others.
