The Lin Great Speakers Series
The Lin Great Speakers Series is presented to the public as a community service. The lectures are made possible by an endowment established in memory of Shu-Chi Lin by his widow, Mrs. Chang Le-Chiao Lin, and their son, Vincent Lin, Ph.D., a St. Mary’s alumnus and former faculty member.
Each year, the Lin Great Speakers Series lecture is preceded by the Conference on Justice and Social Concerns, during which the campus community explores important social and justice issues affecting society.
This year’s theme will be sponsored by the Center for Catholic Studies.

Interfaith Friend, Interfaith Kin: Reflections on Fratelli Tutti
In his 2020 encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis stresses the idea of fraternity as the basis for good interreligious relations. But what does it really mean to call the Religious Other my brother or sister? How does that affect interreligious dialogue and cooperation? Can a broader vision of human kinship help us to heal the various divides — interreligious, interracial, intercultural, interpolitical — plaguing America today?
