ND Expert: Ancient Wisdom and Modern Love, David O'Connor

"It's an experience that is not merely pleasant; there are aspects of it that are frightening or painful."

Three afternoons a week, in a fluorescent-lit classroom, he stands before some 200 students enrolled in Philosophy 2021401, leads a prayer invoking the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, and begins to speak about passionate romance, erotic love, and simple friendship.
