SOLD OUT!

Due to popular demand, tonight’s Inspiration Unplugged event featuring His Eminence, Cardinal Thomas Collins, The Book of Revelation as a Moral Guide in a Chaotic World, is officially sold out!
We are incredibly grateful for the enthusiastic response and support for this special event. For those who were unable to secure tickets, we hope to see you at future Inspiration Unplugged events.
Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to a thought-provoking and inspiring evening!

The Book of Revelation was written in the first century to encourage Christians who were being persecuted, and to challenge those who were willing to sell their souls to get ahead in a hostile world. It guides us in our own time along the path of courage and integrity.

Join Cardinal Thomas Collins as he dives into how we can look to scripture as a beacon of counsel for our chaotic world at our signature Inspiration Unplugged lecture series at St. Mary’s University on Thursday, October 3rd.

Light refreshments will be provided.

* ALL ARE WELCOME*

RSVP for Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-catholic-churchs-mission-in-a-polarized-world-with-dr-peter-baltutis-tickets-1015498642777

ABOUT THIS EVENT
As Catholics, Jesus challenges us to be aware of what is happening in the world around us, to use Scripture and tradition to make up our minds about what we see, and then to commit to action. Using this methodology of “see-discern-act”, this presentation will: (1) see the problem of polarization in our world and how it is harmful to the people of God; (2) use the Gospels and the principles of Catholic Social Teaching to understand why polarization is contrary to God’s will; and (3) suggest appropriate actions that Catholics can take to “cross over” this divide and work towards hope and love in this world.
SPEAKER PROFILE:
Dr. Peter Baltutis is Associate Professor of History and Religious Studies, and the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) Endowed Chair for Catholic Studies, at St. Mary’s University in Calgary. He earned his doctorate in Theology from Regis St. Michael’s Faculty of Theology in the University of Toronto. An expert in the history of Catholicism, his research focuses on the historical and theological development of the Catholic social tradition in Canada. Outside of the university, he enjoys camping with his family and long-distance running in the Rocky Mountains.
