Course Introduction

He also leads several discussions with three classical educators in which they discuss six classical stories and explore the ways these stories awaken the moral imagination and thus cultivate virtue.

He has also served on the faculty of the Ecumenical Institute of Theology at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Seminary in Baltimore.
