The Consortium for Classical and Lutheran Education celebrates its tenth anniversary with its tenth annual conference in Concordia, Missouri, June 22-24. In addition to all kinds of workshops on curriculum, teaching, and catechesis, the plenary speaker will be Rev. Thomas Korcok of the Lutheran Church of Canada.
He has done some remarkable research for his doctorate on classical education in the Lutheran tradition. I’ve seen it. He shows how the classical liberal arts were key to Luther’s whole educational project, including the teaching of the doctrine of vocation. He also shows how the Reformation impacted the liberal arts. He then traces classical education through church history, including the schools established by the Lutheran immigrants in America, from C. F. W. Walther through the Lutheran educational system of the not-t0o-distant past to the revival of classical Lutheran education as represented by the CCLE today.
