Two events in the coming days, one in New York and one in Texas:
On February 27th in Waco, Texas, the Baylor Society for Early Christianity will host Peter Leithart for a lecture and panel discussion titled “Defending Constantine.” More information here.
And tomorrow, January 25th, at NYU’s Catholic Center, Anthony Esolen will give a lecture titled “Love and Artistic Genesis.” The lecture starts at 7:30, but based on the number of people who have attended past “Art of the Beautiful” events, I recommend arriving ten or fifteen minutes early.
