Feed My Sheep: Charlotte Mason’s Vision for Thoroughly Christian Education

Description

Feed My Sheep: Charlotte Mason’s Vision for Thoroughly Christian Education focuses on this quote from Charlotte Mason:

“…we do not realize ourselves as spiritual beings invested with bodies, living, emotional, a snare to us and a joy to us, but which are, after all, the mere organs and interpreters of our spiritual intention. Once we see that we are dealing spirit with spirit with the friend at whose side we are sitting, with the people who attend to our needs, we shall be able to realise how incessant is the commerce between the divine Spirit and our human spirit.”
Charlotte Mason (Vol. 2, Ch. XXV, p. 276)

What does Charlotte Mason mean when she uses the word “spiritual”? What is a “spiritual” education and how might it be different from our modern day secular options? Brandy works outward from this quote into a full religious vision for education — an education that is Christian through and through. You will leave with a deeper understanding of Charlotte Mason’s philosophy and motivation to give the children in your lives a fully Christian education.

This talk was originally given at the Charlotte Mason of Northeast Texas workshop in fall of 2024.
