Our Mission is Universal Respect & Solidarity

Posted on In The News by C.J. Williams · February 05, 2019 10:50 AM

The director of The Lincoln Forum, our Board Chairman Dr. J. David Franks, considers solidarity through the lens of Dostoyevsky's striking concept of love in The Brothers Karamazov. This, and other readings, are part of our Social Ethics and Pro-Life Solidarity Certificate at MCFL. We welcome you to join the conversation that is creating a more just world, in-person, or remotely. If online, use #ReVitalize and #MassProLife to follow along.

We belong to the vanguard not because we are innocent of all the anguish of the world, but because we cannot escape our implication in that anguish.
