A Day at Christendom College

This was our day at Christendom College in Front Royal for their annual Summer Institute.  Since we are concluding this week the Year of St. Paul, the topic of the conference dealt with the "Spiritual and Scriptural Contributions to the Church" by St. Paul.  It seemed the conference was not as well attended as in previous years (economy?) but the program and presenters were outstanding.  The most distant presenter was from Seattle and the overall program was well in keeping with those of previous years; all inviting a return for the following year's program.

It was a partly sunny day but warm when the sun was out.  

I've always been fond of Sycamore trees and this one seemed more horizontal than vertical.  Such growth is more often along the water but we were some distance from the Shenandoah River which runs along the college's border.  There was insufficient time in our breaks to walk to the river, at least at our pace as you would likely say.

The chapel for the college student body and...

a broader view.  Nice way to spend a Saturday.
Tomorrow I'll start catching up with some past due postings.

'til later...
