Register for the C.S. Lewis Summer Conference!
In recent years, much of the dialogue in our culture about important issues has become increasingly polarized and hostile. Voices of compromise and moderation are lost as differing visions of justice and freedom war loudly with each other.
While this is not surprising given the gravity of the issues, it is important that our conversations in the public square be productive, honest, and hospitable if our society and democracy are to remain strong.
This is the challenge for us today – As people of faith, how do we protect the values we hold dear with honesty and integrity and yet demonstrate charity, love, and respect for those with whom we disagree?
We invite you to join us as we explore these important questions with inspiring speakers, scholars, pastors, and performing artists.
Don’t miss this unique experience of faith, reason, and imagination in the company of friends!
Special early arrival tracks include a writers track, academic roundtable, and boarding school educators track. Main conference breakout sessions will cover a variety of topics related to the theme.
