Residential Schools, Modernity, and Remembering Well

Are residential schools Canada’s foundational tragedy, our original sin? How did churches become servants to modernity’s vision? What of a Papal apology? Are we all responsibly for everyone and everything?

Pandemic: What have we Learned?

The Gift and Challenge of Atheism to Religious Perspectives

What are the spiritual and intellectual roots of atheist? Are they similar to those of religion? Does atheism offer a gift to religious perspectives? Does it present a challenge? 

David Goa focuses on deepening the capacity of the faithful to think through the gifts of their traditions: the spiritual life, the theological traditions and our responsibility to the public world. Supporters help him continue to do this important work.
