Today is the first of four events in a series called: "More Than a Monologue. Sexual Diversity and the Catholic Church." The series website is here, and the Facebook page is here. Jamie L. Manson describes the initiative in NCR here. Manson cites Fairfield University's Prof. Paul Lakeland, one of the organizers of the series. She writes:

For Lakeland, none of these conferences has as its agenda to attack the churchs teaching on homosexuality. All of these conferences are addressing issues that are left open by the church teaching, he said. Though the hierarchy is explicit in its understanding of same-sex relations, he said there are questions that arise out of its teaching that have not and will not go away.

Other events in the series will be held at Union Theological Seminary (October 1,) Yale Divinity School (Oct.22,) and Fairfield University (Oct. 29).So--anybody at Fordham today? How's it going?
