The weekend is a fantastic opportunity for teachers and students of literature and theology, as well as anyone involved in the formation of young people, to consider more profoundly the power of literature as a positive, educative tool.
The talks are as follows:
- Why Reading is Good for You: Imagining Our Place in the World
- Creation and Beauty in Tolkien’s Catholic Vision
- Characters with Character: Imagining Ourselves
- Don’t Panic! Courage and Virtue in Tolkien’s Secondary Characters
Each talk will be followed by a guided discussion session in small groups, for which some preparatory reading will be required.
The weekend will include opportunities for Communal prayer, Divine Office and Mass.
