The Cornerstone Forum is a product of that excitement and an effort to communicate it to others. For several decades, the Cornerstone Forum has worked to bring René Girard’s extraordinary anthropological contribution to human self-understanding into fruitful dialogue with the theological tradition exemplified by Joseph Ratzinger, Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar and others, and to bring these riches to the attention of a wider, non-academic audience.

On this site you will find links to:

  • Our podcasts of archival audio presentations by Gil Bailie and René Girard
  •  Books and articles by Gil Bailie and René Girard and others relating to our work.
  • Our episodic newsletter – and
  • a Weblog of miscellaneous musings by our staff

This iteration of the Cornerstone Forum’s web presence was inaugurated in August of 2022. Our Reflections on Faith & Culture, published from August 2006 until March 2015 remains accessible and has almost nine years of posts. However, most of the audio and video players embedded in the old site no longer are active. We believe the older weblog might still make for interesting and worthwhile browsing at www.gil-bailie.com.
