Summary
The Biblical Temple is the key to interpreting the whole Bible. It’s also the key to knowing the world, ourselves, and our place in the world. It shows how we—made ac- cording to the Image of God—learn. Since, as Dorothy Sayers said, we should teach with the grain of the child, this presentation searches for insights into that grain, insights hidden on the very surface of the temple, so we can bring them into our classrooms. What is it about the temple that enables us to teach our students in a Christ-centered way, guide them to the treasures of wisdom and knowledge that are found in Christ, and heal the breach between education and the spiritual life? Come and hear!
Speaker
Andrew Kern is the founder and president of the CiRCE Institute (Center for Independent Research on Classical Education), the husband of Karen, the father of five grown adults, and the grandfather of (so far) nine grandchildren. He has been researching, speaking, teaching, and consulting in the Christian classical renewal since 1993, during which he has been instrumental in the founding of three schools, consulted with over 100 schools and co-ops, and served as Director of Classical Instruction, Academic Dean, and Headmaster. Andrew speaks regularly at home school and classical conferences. In addition, he is the co-author with Dr. Gene Edward Veith of Classical Education, The Movement Sweeping America and, with Andrea Lipinski, of The CiRCE Guide to Reading. He also led the development of CiRCE’s classical rhetoric program, The Lost Tools of Writing, and he loves Homer, Shakespeare, Anne of Green Gables, and Endeavour. Like Shakespeare, he knows a little Latin and less Greek. Except a lot less than Shakespeare. Andrew and Karen have settled in Concord, North Carolina where they attend Christ The Good Shepherd Orthodox Mission and watch their five grown children raise their children and pursue their callings.
