General Announcements 

Talk on race in the Church to take place in Indianapolis on April 24

A talk titled “Race in the Catholic Church” will be offered at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 4625 N. Kenwood Ave., in Indianapolis, from 6:30-9 p.m. on April 24.

University of Notre Dame political science professor Darren Davis will offer insight and spark thoughtful dialogue on the topic. Davis is co-author of a forthcoming Cambridge University Press book, Perseverance in the Parish? Religious Attitudes from a Black Catholic Perspective.

Based on a national survey of Black Catholics, this book explores the perceptions of racism and racial experiences in the Catholic Church.

Davis’ other book, Negative Liberty: Public Opinion and the Terrorist Attacks on America, examines the role of threat perceptions on the tradeoffs between civil liberties and security, political tolerance, and ideas of citizenship

The evening will begin with wine and appetizers in the church narthex at 6:30 p.m., followed by the talk at 7 p.m. in the church sanctuary.

The talk is free, but registration is encouraged. Registration is available online at tinyurl.com/StThomasDavisTalk26.
