It is a personal honor and joy to welcome you to what we are confident will be a unique and challenging conversation on a century of Christian social thought. The close of this century behooves us to reflect upon the concrete circumstances and human experiences of the past one hundred years, an era that has left an indelible mark upon the conscience of mankind.
