Catholic University of Lille (France)
     Within the framework of its new organization, the Association of the Amici Thomae Mori wished to find an institutional partnership with the university world.
     In this spirit, the intellectual and spiritual nearness with numerous personalities who worked quite at the same moment at the ICL and to diffuse the thoughts of Thomas More, such as Canon André Prévost and his sound translation of the Utopia, led naturally to implement such a partnership from which the principle received the approval of Monseigneur DEFOIS.
     The implementation of this agreement has to allow both contracting parties to obtain positive effects. Amici will take advantage of the ICL influence within the national and international university world and ICL will benefit from the density of scholars' international network of the association members over the humanism and the reform time.

The St. Thomas More Website

This is a photograph of Crosby Hall. Once owned by St. Thomas More, it originally was located in Bishopsgate, where it was the Great Hall Crosby Place. Today it stands in Chelsea on land that was once part of More's orchard.

“My lord, for one bishop of your opinion I have a hundred saints of mine; and for one parliament of yours, and God knows of what kind, I have all the General Councils for 1,000 years, and for one kingdom I have France and all the kingdoms of Christendom.” ........Thomas More (at his trial on July 1, 1535)
"He was the person of the greatest virtue these islands ever produced" ........Samuel Johnson

The Thomas More Society of America

The Society is a non-denominational, non-profit organization founded to promote interest in the life and works of Sir Thomas More, while encouraging discussion of contemporary issues in the light of the moral, religious, and philosophical significance of More's thought. Through its forums, programs, and activities, the Society endeavors to acquaint its members and friends with the values that Thomas More espoused in both his public and private life. In his search for God's will in all things, he integrated the sacred and secular, for which he has been called "A Man for All Seasons."
