S.T.L. student Fr. Blake Britton will present a lectio coram and defend his thesis “The Ground and Pillar of Our Faith”: Traditio Apostolorum and Discipleship in Irenaeus of Lyons on Thursday, May 1, at 10:00 a.m. in McGivney Hall, Room 214. His evaluation board includes Dr. Jonathan Bieler (director), Dr. Joseph Atkinson, and Dr. David C. Schindler.

The lectio coram is a magisterial lecture on a specific theological issue taken up during the course of studies for the licentiate before a panel of three examiners, comprised of the thesis director and the two readers of the thesis. The lectio coram should demonstrate the candidate’s competence in theology and as a teacher.

This event is open to the public.
