S. 565 Lewis and Friends David and Ruth Neuhouser with Edwin and Pat Brown Foreword by Joe Ricke, Director of the Center for the Study of C. S. Lewis and Friends Preparing for the 10th Biennial C. S. Lewis and Friends Colloquium at Taylor University, we couldn’t help but think of the year 1997 when, under the leadership of Dr. David L. Neuhouser, and with the help of a generous anonymous donor, the outstanding book collection of Dr. Edwin W. Brown came to be housed at Taylor. Later that summer, Dr. Neuhouser was out beating the bushes, promoting both the collection and the first-ever colloquium to be held in November of that year. A substantial part of that story is told in our new book, Exploring the Eternal Goodness: Selected Writings of David L. Neuhouser, especially in the introduction, in the long interview with David, and in the many tributes included in the book. This book, too, tells an important part of that story. For this volume, containing a good number of the eighty-plus essays and creative pieces presented at the 2016 Frances Ewbank Colloquium, suggests that the vision of Neuhouser and Brown is not only ongoing but, if anything, growing. Here, in the middle of the cornfields of Indiana, a fellowship and a friendship began that continues to make a difference in this university, in the long-time friends of the Lewis Center and the Brown Collection, and, perhaps more than ever, in the community of Inklings scholars and fans around the world.

If anything, that feeling is now stronger. There had been a suggestion that despite the Pope’s fine vision for the Church, he lacked ‘generals’ on the ground to support him in what needed to be done. Now however, it is evident that he has been calmly appointing carefully chosen prelates to key positions, men he knows and trusts after his many years in the Vatican. In Rome all seems positive – even though not everyone will end up with all that they might hope for! When we turn to our own country, the contrast is inescapable. In the matter of changes affecting the Holy Days of Obligation, our Bishops’ Conference has drawn upon itself an unprecedented storm of criticism, reflected even in The Tablet and confirmed in its opinion poll.

  • Analysis of International Baccalaureate Program
    October 8, 2020 Analysis of International Baccalaureate Program By Dr. Denise Donohue and Dr. Dan Guernsey he following is part of The Cardinal Newman Society’s series of analyses of secular T materials and programs used in Catholic education. Such materials and programs must be carefully evaluated to determine if their underlying philosophy, content, and activities are aligned to the mission of Catholic education and, if used, what adaptations might be needed. The Newman Society’s “Policy Guidance Related to Secular Materials and Programs in Catholic Education” offers a framework for such evaluation and is the basis for this particular analysis. Overview The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is used in about 5,000 schools in more than 150 countries,1 including more than 1,800 schools in the United States.2 The IB program has steadily increased its presence in the U.S., adding about 100 new schools a year in recent years.3 Catholic schools currently comprise 2 percent of that total.4 Originally designed to instruct the children of international diplomats, the IB Diploma Program (IBDP) and its foundational Theory of Knowledge course were officially registered in Geneva in 1968. As the program slowly acquired global recognition, the Middle and Primary Year Programs were introduced, followed by a program geared toward students on a career-related track. The mission statement reads: 1 See https://www.ibo.org/about-the-ib/ (accessed on June 12, 2020). 2 See https://www.ibo.org/country/US/ (accessed on June 12, 2020). 3 “International Baccalaureate: Guided by a Mission” at https://www.newsweek.com/insights/best-usas-ib- accredited-schools-2016 (accessed on June 12, 2020).

  • Gordon Giltrap BIOGRAPHY
    Gordon Giltrap BIOGRAPHY Over the past forty years, Gordon Giltrap has graced the music business with his dedication to his craft and his affection for his audience. As one of the UK's most respected guitarists, he has consistently proved the adage that respect cannot be bought. It must be earned. Gordon was born on 6 April 1948, at the British Home for Mothers and Babies in Brenchley, Kent. The son of a labourer, he grew up in an austere but protective community of terraced houses in Deptford, south-east London. His obsession with stringed instruments began nine years later, when a friend turned up at the house with an out-of-tune Spanish guitar. Keen to encourage his new hobby, his parents bought him a plastic ukulele with a picture of Elvis on the headstock, then a Martin Coletti archtop jazz guitar with a sunburst finish and a brown canvas case. Without a teacher to guide him and just a set of pitch pipes and a book entitled “First Steps” he taught himself how to tune the instrument and finger basic chords. A familiar story I’m sure you have heard before from many of the guitar legends around today! Gordon joined his first band when barely in his teens, and relished the opportunity to play songs by his idols - Cliff Richard, The Shadows and The Everly Brothers. He set his sights on Art College, but bowed to his father's insistence that he learn "a trade", and grafted his way through a series of unrewarding jobs. Gordon unwittingly taught himself a hybrid technique of plectrum and little finger, but in doing so, created the individual sound that is still his trademark.
