A “respectful dialogue” has been scheduled on Wednesday, November 28th to “begin to reform, renew, and heal the [Catholic] Church in Buffalo.
The symposium will be held at Canisius College’s Montante Cultural center at 7:00pm, moderated by President John J. Hurley.
Put on by the Movement to Restore Trust-- which is the formal name of the initiative founded by nine Catholic lay people in the Buffalo Diocese—the symposium will feature the following panelists:
- Kerry Robinson, the founding executive director and global ambassador of the Leadership Roundtable (https://leadershiproundtable.org/), an organization that promotes best practices and accountability regarding management issues in the U.S. Catholic Church.
The event will include a moderated discussion among the panelists, with an opportunity to take questions from the audience.
It’s open to the public but seating will be limited; doors open at 6:00pm.
A live stream of the event will also be on the website, with an on-site stream available in the college’s Winter Student Center on Hughes Avenue for anyone who wants to participate in the Q&A session.
A follow-up workshop will be held on Saturday, December 8th from 9:00am-Noon, featuring an open session for people to address their concerns about the ongoing scandal and to propose ideas for reform.
