The Congregation of Sisters of Saint Agnes is pleased to present a series on the theme “To Form A More Perfect Union:  Division and Unity in the USA at 250”. This three-part series will take place at the Prairie Theater and Event Center (400 University Avenue, Fond du Lac, WI).

Speakers include retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske, renowned theologian Sister Dianne Bergant, and “The Dignity Index” representative Alexa Merrill, an organization dedicated to promoting civil discourse. They will explore the enduring principles of the U.S. Constitution and their relevance to today’s challenges. From the roots of representative democracy to the evolving meaning of liberty and justice, each of the three lectures will aim to deepen public understanding and inspire constructive engagement.

The first session will take place on Thursday, April 23. Janine Geske, former justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court will speak about the constitutional history of unity in this country.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with remarks beginning at 6 p.m. The audience is invited to engage with the speaker via a Q&A segment after remarks and again informally during a reception in The Winnebago Room with heavy hors d’oeuvres. During the reception, two tables will be available for optional participation in facilitated discussion between attendees.

On September 17, Sister Dianne Bergant, CSA, will talk about unity and diversity from a theological perspective.

Then on October 22, Alexa Merrill will present on the Dignity Index to help us learn to use “language rooted in dignity” when talking about divisive subjects.
