Faith & Culture Conference
The Two Great Lights: The Spiritual & Temporal Powers
in Catholic Life & Culture
Doubletree Hotel (Downtown) | Tulsa, OK | May 12–13, 2023

Pope Innocent III
in Raphael's Disputation of the Holy Sacrament
—Pope Innocent III
Letter to Acerbius & Tuscan Nobles (1198)
In response to the overwhelming secularizing trend in American political life and culture, the Alcuin Institute invites you to join us and other scholars from across the nation for a lively, thought-provoking conversation on the historical, theological, and political understanding of the Church-state relationship. How these two “lights” are theoretically understood and practically relate has immediate consequences for the family, education, politics and the Church.
You don’t want to miss out on this unique opportunity! Seating is limited; register today to reserve your place at this historic conference!
