Senior Seminar Night

April 19, 2023 | Media

Last night was Senior Seminar Night. These seminars are a yearlong effort, and the presentations to distinguished guests, faculty members, parents, and fellow students are the pinnacle in our Form VIII student’s academic education.

The topics were impressive and varied. A small sampling were The Job of the Judge, Ethereum Explained, Analyzing the Guitar: its Evolution and Influence Throughout The Years, An Analysis of the War on Drugs in the Andean Region and Its Effects on American Policies, C.S. Lewis’ Assessment of what Makes and Defines a Dystopia, and Habit Formation of Tics in Tourette’s Syndrome.

Kudos to these young men on their hard work and for their poise during their presentations in responding quickly and thoughtfully to questions from our many guests. Several students even did so completely in a second language!

Silence and the Word

When Moses asks God to provide a name that he might share with the enslaved Israelites in Egypt, “God replied to Moses: ‘I am who I am.’ Then He added: ‘This is what you will tell the Israelites: I am has sent me to you.’ God spoke further to Moses: ‘This is what you will say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you’” (Exodus 3:14-15).

What is a man? That’s a wonderful question that seems difficult to raise without provoking strong reactions.
