Historic Gathering of Theological Ethicists

SECOND INTERNATIONAL CROSS-CULTURAL CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC THEOLOGICAL ETHICISTS, TRENTO, ITALY, JULY 24-27, 2010

Abstract

We are just returning from an “historic” meeting of 600 Catholic theological ethicists from 73 countries, having gathered for an international conference sponsored by “Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church” (CTEWC) in Trento, Italy from July 24-27. The conference was packed with conversations and discussions. Thirty plenary speakers (simultaneously translated into English, French, Italian and Spanish) presented on such topics as tradition, moral reasoning, war, economics, health, sustainability, citizenship, gender, family, and sexuality. There were another 240 presentations at concurrent sessions on other issues, from divine love to HIV/AIDS.
