This session will engage in discussion about St. Augustine's efforts to form the conscience of his people -- and
thus helping us to form ours. He lived in a very divided society and helped his listeners re-shape their
understanding of what it meant to be Christian. He thus asked them to step outside their group-think divisions
and to notice that to love God requires that one love one's neighbor, not giving in to the angry, even violent
temptations they faced. In this way the session will be an effort to apply a moment in history to the present-day
challenge of negotiating differences in deeply human ways.
