Best-Selling Author Thomas Moore to
Speak at USM/L-A
Thomas Moore
April 2005
Thomas Moore, Ph.D., author of the phenomenal bestseller
Care of the Soul, as well as Soul Mates, The Education of
the Heart, and most recently, Dark Nights of the Soul, will
speak at the University of Southern Maine’s Lewiston-Auburn
campus Thursday, April 28. His topic will be “The Soul
of the University.”
Moore was a Catholic monk for twelve years, and later earned
degrees in theology, musicology, and religion. A former professor
of religion and psychology, he is known for the fresh, imaginative
vision he brings to counseling, psychotherapy and education.
He is currently working on two books: the first brings a
spiritual vision to the task of finding our life work and
imagines jobs, avocations, successes and failures as a process
of tending to the changes and developments in our souls that
occur over a lifetime. The second, a book stemming from Moore’s
deep concern about the religion wars currently at play in
world conflict, gives “a picture of Jesus that is congenial
with the many religious and spiritual traditions of the world,” writes
Moore.
Moore’s address will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday,
April 28, in Room 170 at USM/L-A on 51 Westminster Street
in Lewiston. Moore will also be speaking earlier in the day
at noon in the Woodbury Campus Center Amphitheater on the
Portland campus. Both events are free of charge and the public
is encouraged to attend.
