Mid-Day Dialogue of Faith - Dialogue with Mark Osler on the subject of Intercession

Professors Susan Stabile and Mark Osler invite faculty, staff, and students to take part in “Mid-Day Dialogue on Faith: Intercession” on Wednesday, November 16 at 12:30 p.m. in room 238 at the University of St. Thomas School of Law.
In light of the positive response to the mid-day dialogue between Professors Osler and Stabile on the subject of creeds last spring, this is the first of two Dialogues on Faith that will be offered this academic year. The goal of each Dialogue will be to focus on one particular area on which there is disagreement between Catholics and Protestants (or among Protestants) and engage in a dialogue that will help deepen everyone’s understanding of the views of those outside of their own faith tradition.
This Mid-Day Dialogue between Professors Osler and Stabile will focus on Intercession including questions of “What do Catholics understand to be the intercessory role of Mary and/or the saints? Why do they think intercession is important or valuable? Why are Protestants uncomfortable with the idea of intercession?” These and other questions will be explored during this dialogue, which will also invite the participation of those attending.
As lunch will be served, please RVSP to Bethany Fletcher at moel1755@stthomas.edu.
