Life in Dialogue with Faith: The Subtle Complexities of an Ongoing Conversation

Life in Dialogue with Faith: The Subtle Complexities of an Ongoing Conversation

How, in the modern world, are we capable of recognizing a complex and subtly developed faith without it undermining our established sense of self? As a convert to Catholicism, Prof. Colby Dickinson has often reflected on these questions insofar as they also illuminate new ways to think and do theological practice. Turning back directly to Cardinal Newman’s Apologia,  this talk will engage Newman’s conversion to Catholicism, Prof. Dickinson’s own experiences of conversion, and how the life lived in faith is itself a never-ending Dr. Colby Dickinson process of conversion.
