Summary
ñThe most important fact about the subject of education is that there is no such thing. Education is not a subject, and it does not deal in subjects. It is instead a transfer of a way of life.î G.K. Chesterton
ñThe great intellectual tradition that comes down to us from the past was never interrupted or lost through such trifles as the sack of Rome, the triumph of Attila, or all the barbarian invasions of the Dark Ages. It was lost after the introduction of printing, the discovery of America, the coming of the marvels of technology, the establishment of universal education, and all the enlightenment of the modern world. It was there, if anywhere, that there was lost or impatiently snapped the long thin delicate thread that had descended from distant antiquity; the thread of that unusual human hobby: the habit of thinking.î G.K. Chesterton
ñThe streets of hell are paved with good intentions.î Mark Twain
Speaker
In almost 40 years of ministry, George Grant has started a lot of things and somehow or another he has even managed to finish a few of them Currently, he is the pastor of Parish Presbyterian Church in Franklin, Tennessee, where he also serves as the director of the KingÍs Meadow Study Center and teaches at the Franklin Classical School He has planted four churches, established a fistful of schools and co-ops along with two colleges, accumulated a bottom drawer full of academic degrees, and is the author of enough out-of-print books to keep half the garage sales in the South fully stocked But, by his own testimony, his greatest accomplishment is his ongoing role as husband of one, father of three, and grandfather of four (and counting)
