11. A Sociological, Theological, and Eucharistic Imagination What can theology learn from sociology? – Need to pay attention to histories of religion-state relations to understand how the church carries out its moral and social teachings – Need to speak out for religious freedom, not just freedom of conscience but freedom to create associations and advocate for the public good

12. A Sociological, Theological, and Eucharistic Imagination What can sociology learn from theology? – Need to put “deep relationality” at the heart of human motivation. Human persons desire other human connections as least as fundamentally as they desire material things. – Eucharistic communities are communities of gratitude; community life is an end in and of itself, not only a means to material or individualistic ends.
