Seminar

There is no Seminar this week, due to Knights’ Fest.

 

Guest Speaker Last Week – Last Thursday, author and speaker Kaitlyn Schiess spoke to the entire freshman class during their seminar period, as well as select sophomores and 8th graders. Ms. Schiess, author of The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor, helped our students think about the posture Christians should have as they approach politics. She challenged our students to recognize that politics is far more than the policies and debates at the state and national levels. Politics is the activity of creating a flourishing community. Ms. Shiess encouraged students to think about their fundamental understanding of a person’s role in community. Is it to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and enjoy your just desserts, or is it to recognize that all good things are undeserved gifts from God, meant to be stewarded and used to bless those around us? Ultimately, even as we fulfill our civic responsibility to vote for policies that we think will be beneficial to ourselves and our community, we can rest in the truth that our ultimate hope is not in any party, candidate, or election, but in the God who made us in his image and called us to love one another as we wait for him to make all things new.
