Gratitude is often understood as etiquette rather than ethics, an emotion rather than politics. It was not always so. From Seneca to Shakespeare, gratitude was thought to be a public virtue with civic and political implications.
 
Christians Believe that God stood at the center of the circle of gratitude. They taught that grace cancelled the oppressive debts of a purely political gratitude. Dr. Leithart will highlight the profound cultural impact of Christian gratitude, which effects the release of humankind from the bonds of social and political reciprocity. We have a benevolent God who gave – and who continues to give – graciously.

Notes on the Ball

This is a great event for the whole family. Enjoy dancing with your spouse and children. Take the opportunity to teach your young men how to ask a young lady to dance and how to offer her a drink and re-seat her with her family. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Please be aware that the dance floor is covered with sawdust.  Take care to dress appropriately.
