Friends:
And now for something completely different. After reading the speeches of Father John Jenkins and President Obama at last Sunday’s Notre Dame Commencement, I thought it would be good for us to discuss them in class. After reading these (I also watched them as perhaps some of you did), I was struck by the thoughtful, respectful, charitable way that both of them handled this situation. I will bring one of our normal lessons for Sunday, but let’s plan to begin class by taking a look at these two speeches. I’ve attached them both to this message. I’ve also uploaded them to our blog (see Lesson Links). I will bring copies for everyone in class on Sunday as well. If we read carefully, I think we can find a serious message from both of these gentlemen about how to dialogue about difficult ethical matters, not to mention how to treat others the way we want to be treated.
I hope you enjoy the speeches. See you Sunday!
Wes
