A new architecture major offered at the Newman Guide-recommended Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., will help students fuse Catholic theology with their careers in architecture, and build up the Church by constructing churches, cities and communities that remind people of God’s presence and beauty, Benedictine Academic Dean Dr. Kimberly Shankman told The Cardinal Newman Society in an interview.
“Our hope is that our architecture program can form architects committed to beauty as a sign of God’s presence, committed to developing cities and towns to foster true human community and committed to developing their skills to the highest possible level to put them in service to the Church and the world,” said Shankman.
