Choose a balance of sessions: some you think will be important to your career and research, and some on topics you just want to learn about! If you run into a friend, ask them to join you for coffee or dinner—relaxed debrief times are great!

My experience working in a Christian seminary for 11 years suggests that most North American Catholics are left-of-center social justice activists or supporters. Also Pope Francis promoted that heavily in his theological writings, and the Sacred College of Cardinals clearly wanted it to continue
