CENTER FOR FAITH AND CULTURE
ABOUT
About
Center for Faith and Culture Symbol The Center for Faith and Culture identifies University’s interest and dialogue with a variety of cultures. It began in 1994 to study how the Gospel can be a cultural leaven. Through conferences, symposia and courses, its activities study the relationship between the worldview of Roman Catholic faith and a mixture of cultures. It studies the relationship of the Gospel’s vision, values, ethical and moral norms, symbols, relationships and roles within cultures. It primarily relates the Gospel to American subcultures – Hispanic, African-American and Asian.

In its programmatic offerings it will incorporate both theory and practice, giving special emphasis to the formation of community leadership that will be capable of integrating faith and culture through ongoing reflection and action. Since we believe that holistic spiritual development is at the very core of all cultural development, this too will constitute an essential dimension of the Center's work.
