Richard Peddicord, O.P. A well-lived moral life requires a certain disposition; Fr. Peddicord discusses the basic building blocks that help one grow into full moral stature. The Aquinas Roundtable is an outreach ministry of Aquinas Institute of Theology. The series was created to share the rich theological and spiritual heritage of Aquinas Institute with our alumni, friends, and neighbors in the St. Louis area.

The Roundtable begins with lunch at 11:30 a.m. The presentation begins at noon followed by a brief question and answer period. The Aquinas Roundtable is held at the Sheraton Clayton Plaza Hotel (7730 Bonhomme, Clayton, MO 63105). Each lunch and lecture is $23. Reservations must be made seven days in advance.

Our legacy is significant as we began our ministry in the New World. The first friars were disturbed and confronted by the treatment of the Indigenous Peoples. They were seriously oppressed and pushed into submission by the Spanish who colonized their land. The Dominicans, after studying the atrocities, decided to make a public denouncement of the treatment of the Indians through the form of a sermon. Each of the friars signed the document and Fr. Antonio Montesinos was commissioned to preach this sermon during Advent, 1511. The sermon was not preserved, but Bartolome de Las Casas incorporated an extract in his work, History of the Indies. As members of the Dominican Family in the Americas, we will begin to commemorate this important anniversary through a webcast on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:00 pm. The program will focus on the past and present issues challenging the Dominican Family in America. Rumor has it that Fr. Montesinos may make an appearance. This presentation will be available for downloading as well as converted into DVDs.  Presenters will include James Barnett, O.P., Marcelline Koch, O.P., Margaret Mace, O.P., Chuck Dahm, O.P., and Toni Harris, O.P. The community of Aquinas Institute of Theology will gather to experience this event, beginning with evening prayer at 4:30 pm in the Aquinas chapel, followed by a potluck dinner in Ascension Commons. The webcast program will begin at 7:00 pm in rooms 149/151.
