— Margaret Bendroth, The Congregational Library and Archives HISTORY AND FAITH IN ANXIOUS TIMES
Writing history with the eyes of faith is a craft, a work of art requiring knowledge, study, and sacred imagination. During these anxious times, and as the Conference on Faith and History marks its first half century, our challenge–and reward–is creating scholarship that engages both mind and soul, bringing new life to old stories and welcoming others to engage the past in all its mystery and complexity.

Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn, Syracuse University THE ART OF LIVING, ANCIENT AND MODERN
In After Virtue (1986), philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre described the contemporary moral universe we inhabit as nothing but shards of other systems that once made sense, now given over to the chaos of competing individualistic and emotivist claims. What comes after virtue? A logical answer might be a return of virtue. Is this possible, or even enough? This talk points to enduring traces today of classical philosophical approaches to the art of living and explores what is at stake in their differences in order to glimpse possible pathways forward in both scholarship and everyday existence.
