2021 Saint Kosmas Orthodox Education Conference:
MODERNITY'S VISION FOR EDUCATION
AND WHY WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED


Keynote Address Delivered at the
2021 Saint Kosmas Orthodox Education Conference

The rise of modernity ushered in a new vision for education, and consequently, a new vision for humanity.  Such a vision permeates the educational landscape of America today.  Understanding the historical roots and subsequent establishment of modern education reveals what is now taken for granted by educators today.  As Orthodox Christians responsible for educating our children, it is vital that we see clearly the hidden assumptions of modern education, how they stand in contrast to Orthodox education, and how these hidden assumptions play out practically in the schooling of our children.  In this keynote presentation from the 2021 Saint Kosmas Orthodox Education Conference, Dr. Tarpley unveils the hidden assumptions of modern education and how they can lead our children down a path contrary to the Orthodox faith.

FR. JOSIAH TRENHAM ON THE ARIZONA CONFERENCE VENUE
(FROM HIS 2021 KEYNOTE ADDRESS):
“This is my third or fourth time at the Saint Kosmas Conference, but the first time at this venue in Gold Canyon and what a splendid venue it is! As I was standing on the porch of our room last night, here at the resort, watching that incredible sunset—the sunset was just magnificent, calling us to sing “O Gladsome Light”—my heart was blessed.”
— Archpriest Josiah Trenham
"The entire conference was incredible experience of encouragement, recreation, recalibration, conviction, and tremendous joy. I could write three separate essays: one on the terrific accommodations at the Gold Canyon Golf Resort, another on the wonderfully prepared Lenten meals, and yet a more elaborate description of the UN-BE-LIEVE-A-BLE and PRICE-LESS lectures. I was especially delighted to visit each one of the vendors; so powerfully equipped! The children had a fantastic time, and on the drive back to Los Angeles they expressed that this conference is the place they found true, life-long friends. As I write this, there are three teenagers checking in on me, inquiring if I’ve yet signed us up for the 2022 conference. Now that’s an endorsement if I ever saw one! My deepest appreciation goes out to all the unseen hands that make this super-production happen. [Read more.]
