SUMMARY:Public Reading of Scripture in Sage Chapel
DESCRIPTION:Join us journey through the entire Bible together in the beautiful Sage Chapel\, and snag a free lunch! \nThe Bible is a masterpiece of world literature and of immense historical significance. We welcome all to join regardless of religious affiliations. \nThis multi-level experience will allow you to slow down and absorb these fascinating and complex texts without pressure or expectation. \n\nWhat is the value of the Public Reading of Scripture?\nAs we listen to the text being read aloud\,  we are automatically forced slow down and only read at the pace of the reader. \nReading scripture aloud in community is an ancient practice\, before books were widely distributed (or easily replicated) the main way these texts were shared was as they were read aloud in group settings. \nReading through the whole Bible offers an experience like no other- no skipping over the uncomfortable or focusing on your favorite verses\, parables\, or stories. \nEvery Tuesday! We’ll be here every week this semester\, and we can’t wait for you to join us! \nmore information

SUMMARY:Public Reading of Scripture at the Knoll
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday mornings for our Public Reading of Scripture and a free breakfast on the Knoll! \n  \nOur Public Reading of Scripture events are a time to gather in community to hear The Bible read aloud while sharing a meal. \nAll you have to do is listen. \nThis multi-level experience will allow you to slow down and absorb the Word of God without pressure or expectation. \n  \nWhy Join Public Reading of Scripture\nThe Bible is a Key\nThe Bible has had such an impact in the history of humanity\, learning more about what it says and teaches will unlock a new understanding to history and literature. \nIt’s a Biblical Practice\nIn Scripture we often see God’s people receive God’s Word aloud together as a community. \nSpiritual Food\nWhile we are all very aware that we need food to duel our physical bodies\, reading scripture is a spiritual discipline we can practice to feed ourselves spiritually. \nA Better Bible Strategy\nIt takes 90 hours to listen to the Bible in it’s entirety\, yet hardly anyone every reads through it all. Many of us want to read more of the Bible\, but few have a disciplined strategy to succeed. Reading/hearing Scripture aloud in community makes it easy as you listen while you eat and find a small community of people who journey through the Bible with you over the year. \nHope to see you on the Knoll! \nmore information

SUMMARY:Sunday Night Dinner on The Knoll
DESCRIPTION:We regret to inform you that\, due to the winter storm and for the safety of our community\, Praxis Sunday Night Dinner will not be held tonight. \nThank you for your understanding. Please stay warm\, and we look forward to gathering again soon!\n  \nJoin us for a home cooked meal\, and discussion on life’s big questions. \nPraxis dinners are a cherished tradition of Chesterton House’s hospitality. Bringing together people from varying faith traditions and beliefs\, they welcome all students from any background to join over a meal while discussing the big questions that transcend discipline and majors. Through small group discussion and large group reflections\, attendees read short reading selections together to generate conversation around the deepest questions of life and develop friendships within a vibrant and curious community. They can foster the sort of discussion where you leave thinking: these were the conversations I was hoping college would be about!

SUMMARY:Biblical Greek with Dr Jimmy Myers
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Biblical Greek will meet on a weekly basis\, with coursework expected to equate to 1 hour of personal study each day and 2 hours of class time per week. After 8 months of diligent studying\, you will be able to translate through the entirety of 1 John! This immersive course is designed for anyone who wants to read the Bible in its original language but has struggled to find the structure or motivation to learn on their own. Whether the idea has felt too daunting or you’ve attempted self-study without success\, this course provides the guidance\, accountability\, and framework needed to build real proficiency in Koine Greek. \nLed by Jimmy Myers\, Senior Post-Doctoral Fellow at Chesterton House and former Greek instructor at Duke Divinity School\, the course transforms the memorization of grammar and vocabulary into something surprisingly joyful. Through thoughtful teaching methods—including rhythm\, repetition\, and even song—Jimmy creates an engaging learning environment that helps the language take root. Students commit to one hour of daily study and two hours of weekly instruction\, mirroring the steady discipline of physical training. \nWith consistent practice\, students will develop the foundational skills needed to begin reading scripture directly from the Greek text. By the end of the course\, you will be able to read and translate the entire book of 1 John\, gaining not only linguistic competence but also a deeper\, richer understanding of the biblical narrative. For those longing to move beyond translations and encounter scripture firsthand\, this course offers both the challenge and the joy of learning to read the Bible in its original language. \nRegister Today
