I just got back from the lecture and panel discussion at Nassau Community College, sponsored by the Center for Catholic Studies. Paul Elie spoke on his bestselling book The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage, which discusses Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, Walker Percy, and Flannery O'Connor. An excellent talk and discussion. The Center for Catholic Studies is now 4 years old and does some awesome stuff. I can't wait to read the book.
