AmP Speaker of the Month: Janet Smith

This is my contribution to Fallible Blogma's Support a Catholic Speaker initiative.

Dr. Janet E. Smith is the world's leading lay authority on the Church's teaching about contraception and related moral issues.

In addition to her full-time teaching responsibilities at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Dr. Smith is a tireless world traveler on behalf of promoting the fullness of the Church's teaching on issues of sexuality, virtue ethics, and bioethics.

Over a million copies of her talk, "Contraception: Why Not" have been distributed. The apostolate One More Soul offers a free copy of her talk on CD here. You can also read the text of one of her talks here.

I have been privileged to have taken classes she has taught, and have been honored to have worked for her. She has a warm, engaging personality that compliments a dazzling intellect and a deep passion for rigorous debate in pursuit of the truth.

To contact Dr. Smith about having her speak for your parish, conference or event, email "endowedchairsasst@shms.edu". 

Her schedule tends to be very busy so please give her as much advanced notice as possible.
