Thomas Merton: A Prophet for Our Time LECTURE October 29, 2015 Presenter: Colleen M. Griffith In an age of unrest and distraction, Thomas Merton poses many challenges to contemporary culture, inviting a deeper sense of the human, a broadened grasp of catholicity, and a way of communal solidarity.  Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Merton's birth, this presentation recognizes the degree to which Merton's contemplative vision has become only more prophetic in our time.   Cosponsored by the School of Theology and Ministry and The Church in the 21st Century Center Colleen M. Griffith is STM associate professor of the practice of theology and faculty director of spirituality studies.
