Colloquy: a conversation or dialogue; an academic gathering for delivery of
addresses on specific topics with opportunity for questions.
This
colloquy is a convocation of classical Christian and home school
educators, designed to encourage one another to pursue wisdom above
credentials, and to seek beauty and goodness rather than mediocrity and
convenience.
Plenary sessions and workshops have been planned with
teachers, administrators, parents, and home school families in mind.
The plenary sessions on both Friday and Saturday will include a lecture
from our guest speaker and a time of contemplation and worship. The
theme of our worship this year centers on spiritual meditations from
the Inklings.
We have also allotted time in the schedule for conferees to have time
for personal reflection, for conversation with other educators and
parents, and for shopping at the book tables.
