Session Description

Is the Beautiful relevant to the life of faith? Is it mere window dressing/distraction or is it somehow crucial for our life together? Moreover, does beauty require anything of us besides personal assent? Is there anything like a transcendent or true beauty that requires commitment as much as perceptual apprehension? These and other questions surrounding the beautiful will be explored and discussed in this session.
