On Monday, April 6 at 7:00PM, Saint Benedict Institute co-founders Jack Mulder, chair of the philosophy department, and Jared Ortiz, associate professor of religion at Hope College presented a the talk “Quarantine in Lent: Meditations on the Pandemic” on Zoom.

These are strange times.  Strange times for young people and old, rich and poor, students and professors.  How should we think about what is happening now? What light can theology and philosophy shed on our current situation? Why would God allow this disease to spread and much of the world to be quarantined? How should we respond? What might God want to teach us in this time?  Please join Saint Benedict Institute co-founders, Jack Mulder and Jared Ortiz, for a live Zoom meeting where they will share thoughts and answer questions.
