Welcome to the Rockhurst University Thomas More Center for Catholic Thought and Culture. The Center, named after the University's patron saint, promotes critical and committed analysis of the Catholic tradition. Our thought-provoking programs solicit discussion of all aspects of Catholicism, including literature, history, fine arts, philosophy, theology, and the natural and social sciences.
The Thomas More Center encourages faculty and student research and study through a minor program in Catholic studies for undergraduates and a research grant program for Rockhurst faculty. Additionally, the Center provides continuing education opportunities and outreach programs to the community at large, including a Conversations series that annually hosts presentations by noted scholars or artists on some element of Catholic thought and culture.
The Thomas More Center also publishes Dimensions, an occasional newsletter with notices of upcoming events, book reviews, and reflections on aspects of Catholic thought and culture. To receive the newsletter, click on the "Contact Us" link to the left and request that your name be added to our mailing list. Be sure to include your postal mailing address.
Feel free to contact Dr. Lynne Moss Bahr at 816-501-4602 or email her with your comments and suggestions. We invite your participation in our ongoing conversation about important issues and ideas in the Catholic tradition.
