From Chaos to Community: Growing the Vision, Skill, and Courage to Care for Our Common Home
2026-01-19 09:45 - 10:50 | Roy Room, Dion Family Student Center
From Chaos to Community: Growing the Vision, Skill, and Courage to Care for Our Common Home with Kristyn Achilich, M.S., M.Ed., Senior Instructor of Education and Director, Leahy Institute for the Environment
Drawing from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s call to choose “community over chaos” in The World House and Pope Francis’s invitation in Laudato Si’ to care for our common home, this talk explores how interdependence can become our greatest strength. This presentation invites us to move beyond fear and fragmentation toward collective action—developing the vision, skills, and courage to live together justly and sustainably in a world that demands both. Through the work of the Patrick & Marcelle Leahy Institute for the Environment, Achilich models how vision can become practice, inviting us all to explore and embrace our shared interdependence.

Home Improvement: Building a House for All People in an Environment That Can Sustain All Life

Home Improvement: Building a House for All People in an Environment That Can Sustain All Life with Fr. David Theroux, SSE, Vice President, Edmundite Mission
Dr. King’s image of a “world house” addresses the need to live with each other in nonviolence so that all may thrive, a world in which the rich care for the poor and the common good of all is valued above the good of the individual or tribe alone, as opposed to warring with each other such that mutual annihilation takes place. Pope Francis imagines the common good of all and the thriving of all peoples in terms of an environment that can sustain humanity, providing for humanity a home in which all can live with equal access to the world’s goods. However, care for the environment is what will provide for all humanity a common home where all can thrive. For Pope Francis, how we care for the environment demonstrates our care for all people, rich and poor alike.

From Chaos to Community: Reclaiming the World House in a Divided Age
2026-01-19 13:30 - 14:20 | Roy Room, Dion Family Student Center
From Chaos to Community: Reclaiming the World House in a Divided Age with Stephon Boatwright, PhD, Assistant Professor, Political Science & International Relations.
Dr. Boatwright’s talk will explore Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of the World House as a moral response to the crises of interdependence in an age of renewed nationalism and populism. King foresaw that humanity’s greatest challenge would not be technological but ethical: learning to live together within a shared global home. Today, as the rhetoric of division grows louder, his warning feels prophetic. The talk examines how King’s call for cooperation transcends borders and ideologies, urging the creation of systems of belonging that replace exclusion with justice. Drawing connections between King’s “triple evils” of racism, materialism, and militarism and the global inequities of our time, Dr. Boatwright highlights how fellowship, not nationalism, remains the foundation for humanity’s common future.
