Philosophers from across the United States will gather at Niagara University on April 18 and 19 for the eastern regional meeting of the Society of Christian Philosophers.

The conference, themed “Options and Issues in Applied Ethics,” will feature keynote addresses by Jorge Garcia of Boston College, Alexander Pruss of Baylor University and Gerald McKenny of the University of Notre Dame. Thirty-four other philosophers are scheduled to deliver papers on Christian perspectives on bioethics, business ethics, race studies and forgiveness.

Alexander U. Bertland, Ph.D., assistant professor of philosophy at Niagara, is serving as conference coordinator.

The Society of Christian Philosophers was organized in 1978 to promote fellowship among Christian philosophers and to stimulate study and discussion of issues which arise from their Christian and philosophical commitments.
