Segment 2 & 3 – Pilgrimage to the Museum: Man’s Search for God Through Art and Time
“In Pilgrimage to the Museum, author-curator Stephen Auth takes you on a provocative and colorful journey through the history of Western art, interpreted through a lens of profound Christian faith — appropriately so since, in Auth’s view, much of Western art expresses humanity’s search for God, the Divine Artist-Creator.”
Stephen Auth has had a long career on Wall Street, first with Prudential Investments in the 1980s and 1990s, and since 2000 with Federated Investors, where he serves as executive vice president and a chief investment officer of Federated Global Equities. He is a member of the Regnum Christi movement and sits on the national board of the Lumen Institute, which he helped found in New York. He has participated in missions in Mexico, and with his wife, Evelyn, has led the New York City street mission for ten years. Steve also serves on the board of the Program for Church Management, being developed in Rome by the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross.

Segment 4 – National Pro-Life Bridges Day
National Pro-Life Bridges Day will take place on Friday, July 29, with pro-life banners being displayed on highway overpasses in cities and towns across the country reading, “Abortion takes a human life.” On July 29, small teams of pro-life activists will display their banners on overpasses in dozens of cities, including Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; Manchester, New Hampshire; Charleston, South Carolina; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Memphis, Tennessee. Scheidler expects more than 2 million highway commuters to see the message that “Abortion takes a human life” during the morning and afternoon rush hours.
