After I predicted that I wouldn’t write much this week, I wrote an essay related to my latest post at Contending Modernities at Formative Justice entitled “Does Education Need Science?” I welcome your comments on those posts, especially your questions and (de)constructive criticism.
I’ve added two more dates to my summer in the Twin Cities. I’ll be giving two talks at the Catholic Church of St. Paul in Ham Lake, MN on July 10th and 24th. The first talk will be on the two main characters of Augustine’s Confessions: Augustine and his mother, Monica. I’ll be focusing on how their relationship, narrated by Augustine, highlights a familiar, Catholic theme of the human person: tension between the head and the heart. The second talk will focus on the my notion “liturgy as mystagogy;” the ubiquitous sense in which we are swimming in the waters of liturgy and are thereby educated in, by, and for it. I hope to have short draft booklet finished by then to share with those in attendance and others who are interested. I don’t have times or other details finalized yet, but I will surely let you know.
In other, domestic news, it is lease signing time — sight unseen! Surely an act of faith, of sorts.
