Romero Center Ministries’ 12th annual Romero Lecture Series: Politics & the Pews: Your Faith, Your Vote & the 2012 Election, will be held on Friday March 23rd at Rutgers University, Camden.
Our keynote speaker will be Stephen S. Schneck, Ph.D., Director of the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies at The Catholic University of America. With the 2012 elections as a backdrop, and the principles of Catholic Social Teaching as a guide, Dr. Schneck will challenge us as people of faith to be engaged citizens of our country and the world. It promises to be provocative and inspiring. Dr. Schneck’s biography can be found here.
The day will begin at noon with a series of workshops, and will culminate with Dr. Schneck’s keynote address at 7PM.
