The Stolberg Lecture Series

The Role of the Urban Cathedral in Twenty-First Century America

The Stolberg Lecture Series was launched in 1996 under the co-sponsorship of the Cathedral Foundation, Inc., Northern Kentucky University and Thomas More College. Designed to be national and ecumenical in scope, the series explores the leadership role of the Cathedral -- and, by extension, major urban churches -- in culture, ecumenism, education and social outreach, as well as in their basic religious and moral mission.
