Fourth Annual Conference on the Common Good
The North Carolina Council of Churches invite you to the 2012 Conference on the Common Good sponsored by the Council’s Christian Unity Committee. The title of this year’s gathering is Catholic Social Teaching: A Vision for the Common Good. It takes place Monday, February 20, at Raleigh’s Highland United Methodist Church from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Church is located at 1901 Ridge Road, Raleigh, NC.
The standard and guide for Roman Catholic approaches to social justice for the last hundred years was set by a Papal Encyclical near the turn of the 20th Century. Centesimus Annus celebrates the 100th anniversary of that document and restates its teachings for our generation. It is a comprehensive summary of social and economic justice perspectives that resonate with Christians of every denomination. Rev. Dr. Brian Johnstone, Professor of Moral Theology at Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, will be our guest speaker and leader. It will be a unique opportunity to engage each other across confessional lines on issues that concern and affect us all. We hope you will be with us for an engaging and critical conversation.
