Carroll Lecture: Loving the Dust We Are w/ Fr. Horan Description:
Join Carroll College for the The Roeben-Raunig Lecture in Social Justice and the Human Animal Relationship. This year’s speaker Father Daniel Horan, OFM, PhD, presenting, “Loving the Dust We Are: Franciscan Spirituality and Justice for All God’s Creatures.”

So much of the Christian spiritual tradition has focused not only on human interiority but also human exclusivity in relationship to the divine, reinforcing a distorted image of humanity as over and against and separated from the rest of creation. This lecture invites us to reevaluate our understanding of the relationship between human and nonhuman creatures as members of God’s one family of creation. Drawing on the profound but often misunderstood Franciscan spiritual tradition. Fr. Daniel Horan will suggest ways that we can renew our sense of cosmic creatureliness while deepening our appreciation for nonhuman creaturely agency, arguing for a Christian spirituality that encourages us to “love the dust we are” and work for justice for all God’s creatures.
