LECTURE TWO: In a monday lunch hour lecture, “A Worldly Church: Politics, Theology and the Common Good” , intended  for an academic audience on the UBC campus)Hauerwas showed how an understanding of practical reason reveals a politics of locality and how that politics is also a form of eccelsiology. Listen.
