Emory University’s Aquinas Center of Theology is marking its 25th anniversary with an internationally known Catholic religious leader, author and theologian.

Dominican Father Timothy Radcliffe will speak at the university’s Glenn Memorial Hall.

He is scheduled to talk about “The Christian Imagination and the Contemporary Search for Wisdom” on Wednesday, March 28, starting at 7:30 p.m.

His next book is titled “Taking the Plunge: Living Baptism and Confirmation.”

He currently is a scholar in residence at the Dominican Studium, Blackfriars Hall at Oxford University. At Blackfriars, Father Radcliffe helped launch the Las Casas Institute on ethics, governance and social justice.
