The most recent Clark Lecture was given by renowned Islamic scholar and St. Louis native Thomas Michel, S.J., journeys from his home in Ankara, Turkey to deliver the Clark Lecture at First Unitarian. His topic, "Christian-Muslim Encounters in the Age of Quantum Physics," is based on the ideas and experiences found in his new collection of essays, "A Christian View of Islam: Essays on Dialogue."
