Theology Symposium
“Unrest, Resistance and Rev~
olution’’ describe the movement
of contemporary mankind within
and against the cross-currents
of revolution. The Theology In-
stitute here at Villanova will pre-
sent a theological examination of
this social phenomenon in a forum
of international scholars this June.
The forum, which runs from
Thursday, June 19 to Friday, June
27, is publicized as the Dynamic
In Christian Action. The Institute
will explore such questions as:
“Was there and is there some-
thing (or someone)? that was and
is’ within the Christian and the
Christian people-a ‘‘dynamic’”’ -
which can be seen and expressed
in Christian Action, and which,
if resisted, can be brought to the
point of revolution? Is there a
healthy unrest within the Christian:
life which, despite disinterested
apathy and external resistance,
will bring about the Kingdom of
God?’
The Speakers

men, and a Roman Catholic Car-
dinal will present thesesrelated to
this theme of dynamism and will
further expound upon their own |
