The Center for Ethics and Culture and our Baptist Friends

With the "Summons of Freedom," Center for Ethics and Culture once again put on an outstanding interdisciplinary conference as reported in a couple of posts by Rick.  Although there is much to report from the many excellent panels and discussions, the defining moment of the conference for me came at the 5pm Mass on Saturday at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.  As I looked around, I saw prominent Baptist academics - a college president, former provosts, and esteemed professors along with some of their students - reverently joining their prayers with ours in what I view as a hopeful sign of and desire for Christian unity.
