Since 2009, the Department of Philosophy and Religion at CBU has hosted an ongoing series of frank discussions, addressing issues of concern to the wider Memphis Catholic community.
Meeting semi-monthly, each Roundtable session lasts approximately two hours and is centered on a text from the contemporary Catholic tradition. Whether a pastoral letter from a Bishop, a paragraph of Catholic social teaching, or an excerpt from a Papal encyclical, the texts are chosen especially for their richness and likeliness to provoke discussion.
We are especially eager to have the participation of "non-experts" in these meetings, and all members of the Memphis Catholic community, lay and clergy alike, are welcome and encouraged to attend.
