I returned last night from speaking at Union University’s conference, “Making Men Moral: The Public Square and the Role of Moral Judgment.” The conference celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of the publication of the first major book by my friend Robert P. George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University.
The conference featured speakers ranging from Jean Bethke Elshtain to Gregory A. Thornbury to Hadley Arkes.
Audio from the conference can be found here. My address was entitled “Of Sacraments and Sawdust: The Future of the Evangelical-Catholic Conversation,” and it can be found here.
Owen Strachan provided a very helpful live blog and instant analysis of the conference that can be found here.
What a joy it was to help thank God for the conviction and principle of Robby George, the most articulate and thoughtful voice on issues of life, law, and morality in the public arena today.
Where else can you find one who can co-teach a class with Cornel West at Princeton in the morning, appear on MSNBC to defend unborn human life that afternoon, deliberate on the President’s Council on Bioethics that evening, and play Bill Monroe tunes on the banjo that night?
