I don’t often interview people.
And in thinking about it, I’m not exactly sure why.
Perhaps it’s because in most cases I think I have a grasp of what’s before me. But as a man at a Catholic Womens Leadership Forum, I confess, I was out of my depth. And so, I did what every man does when he’s a bit lost.
He asks for directions.
Well, not exactly directions, because that’s not what guys do…ever.
But for guidance and insight.
And it led to some conversations with some women who were steeped in both.
This was a journey of discovery. And many of the truths revealed, the insights, are actually bigger than the forum, the participants, or even the Institute itself. Many were universal, just as the Church.
And it was breathtaking to behold.
The Given Institute Forum, now in its tenth year, brings together Catholic women from across the country for several days of prayer, formation, and fellowship, encouraging them to discern and live out their unique gifts in service to the Church and the world.
This year’s Forum, held on the campus of the Catholic University
