17th International Conference on Patristic Studies

From August 10-14, Rev. Bud Grant and Dr. Ethan Gannaway traveled to Oxford to deliver papers at the 17th International Conference on Patristic Studies.

As part of a two-day workshop on Saint Ambrose titled Ambrosius recipiens vel Ambrosius receptus: Reconsidering the Place of Ambrose of Milan, Fr. Bud presented "Natural Theology: How Ambrose Converted Natural Law" and Ethan presented "Cock on a Column: Ambrose, Art, and Audience."

The workshop also featured papers by Msgr. Francesco Braschi and Dr. Paola Moretti (each of whom spoke at SAU in February 2014), Dr. Han-leun Kanzter-Komline, and Dr. Daniel Williams. ASSAM then hosted a social gathering of all scholars presenting papers on Ambrose, which included nearly 30 individuals.
