The Living Theology Series is free and open to the public and features three Saturday sessions a semester on the Fairfield campus. The final session, "Recent Developments in Catholic Ethical Teaching," will take place on Saturday, Nov. 12, and features Frank T. Hannafey, S.J., Ph.D., associate professor of Religious Studies at Fairfield University.

The first series in Living Theology began last spring and attracted participants from throughout Fairfield County. The sessions are intended to help local Catholics and others learn about the latest thinking in the church and develop their own thoughts on these important topics.
