The Theology Department of Saint Anselm College welcomes Dr. Anthony Coleman, Director of the Theological Institute and Professor of Theology at St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts, to present "Leisure & Labor: The Liberal Arts in Catholic Higher Education." 

This lecture is presented with support from the Saint Anselm College Bean Distinguished Lecturer Series, funded by the Norwin S. and Elizabeth N. Bean Foundation, the Dean's Office, and the Conversatio program. All are invited.

Moderated by the Institute’s executive director, Neil Levesque, this is a conversation you won't want to miss!
