NOVEIV'IBER 2004 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAtviE SPONSORED BY THE NOTRE DAtviE CENTER FOR ETHICS & CULTURE

"Even beyond its typically religious expressions, true art has a close affinity vvith the vvorld of faith, so that, even in situations vvhere culture and the Church are far apart, art remains a kind of bridge to religious experience." • - Pope .John Paul IL Letter to Artists

The Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture's fifth annual fall conf$3-rence vvill examine the variety of vvays in vvhich the fine arts can help build a more genuinely Christian civilization in an era that is ever more deeply post­ Christian in its character. Our first triennial series culminated in proposals on hovv to build a genuine culture of life, and last year's conference reflected on the renevve:~l and formation at the heart of such a culture. This conference vvill focus our reflection on the fine arts and their place in a culture of life.
