Teaching to the Heart with Bishop James Conley

Bishop James Conley was the keynote speaker at the January 2025 St. Louis Catholic Classical Education Symposium, Cor Ad Cor, hosted by Chesterton Academy of St. Louis. Currently the Bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska, Bishop Conley brings a unique personal perspective to Catholic classical education. As a college student, he studied in the well-known and groundbreaking Integrated Humanities Program at the University of Kansas during the 1970's. Although the program itself was non-religious and secular, Conley and many other students converted to Catholicism through reading the great books under the guidance of their Catholic professor and mentor, John Senior. Truly, this experience of education had formed the young Conley's heart as well as his mind. It is fitting, then, that for his episcopal motto, Bishop Conley chose the motto of the great 19th-century English convert John Henry Cardinal Newman: "cor ad cor loquitur," which means "heart speaks to heart." In his keynote address, Bishop Conley delves into the application of this motto in Catholic classical education and how we can teach to the hearts of students in practical ways.
