Dignitatis Humanae: A Civil Conversation
Old St. Joe’s, Philadelphia’s first Roman Catholic church, was built out of sight from the street to protect it from religious prejudice. Thanks to the freedoms assured by William Penn’s Charter of Privileges, it was the only place in the entire British empire where Mass was said legally at the time.
Learn skills for navigating difficult conversations by joining in a Civil Conversations Workshop based upon Dignitatis Humanae, the Vatican II document written by Jesuit priest and theologian John Courtney Murray which affirmed the right to religious freedom as a civil right grounded in human dignity.
This program is part of the Religious Freedom: Then & Now initiative.
