Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, has launched a video series that plans to examine “culture, science, politics, the arts, and current issues” through “the lens of reason and faith.”
Hosted by the school’s former president, Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, “In Focus: Confronting the Woke World” takes inspiration from “Awake, Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology,” a 2021 book by Catholic author Noelle Mering.
The first series features Mering herself, who is also an editor of the website TheologyofHome.com, a mother of six, and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
“The speed with which [the woke movement] has taken over most of our major public and private institutions is extraordinary,” Pivonka said in a press release from the school.
“We must never retreat from the world but always seek to engage it and to share the light of Christ, the only source of true human freedom and flourishing.”
“It is easy to think the woke ideology is too political or polarizing for Christian engagement,” Mering said. “But this is a movement that stems from something far more fundamental than politics.”
