  2005 Lonergan Workshop  
     
 

The Dialectic of Progress and Decline:
40 YEARS AFTER VATICAN II

32nd Annual Lonergan Workshop
19-24 June 2005, Boston College

In the past two years, our theme was taken from Flannery O’Connor - “the good under construction”. Last year the Workshop cooperated with Andrea Bartoli of the Community of Sant’Egidio in response to the invitation of John Paul II help think about a world constitution of peace. The 32nd Annual Lonergan Workshop at Boston College also commemorates the 40th Anniversary of the close of Vatican II.
