\n2009 conference<\/span><\/a> was sponsored by the Poetics & Christianity
\nwhich is “an international forum for studying the intersection of artistic
\nculture and expressions of religious faith, with a special emphasis on
\nnarrative and dramatic arts. It offers a meeting place for scholars and artists
\nof diverse fields of expertise.”<\/p>\n
\nof scholars and other interested parties matters pertaining to art and faith.
\nSince Flannery O’Connor is relatively unknown in Europe, Father Wauck felt it was time
\nto introduce the world to writer who lived her Catholic faith and wrote fiction
\nusing Catholic sacramentality. Father Wauck said,
\nCatholic art can achieve when it’s fully informed by a sophisticated
\ntheological understanding, a rigorous philosophical background, and also the
\nkind of dedication to craft, to the artistry of writing that she combined.”<\/p>\n
