Mrs. Wolfe, author, inter alia, of Sasha and the Dragon, and Patterns for Life, introduces us to the incredible world of Charlotte Mason, the late 19th - early 20th educator who saw the formation of the soul, and not just the creation of factory workers, as the true goal of education. Laura explores how this world fits into Orthodox paideia, and is so suitable for homeschoolers especially.

Dr. Joshua Moritz of Chrysostom Academy tackles the nagging rumor that science and faith are two different systems that have nothing to do with each other, pointing out that most of the great scientists of centuries past were confessing Christians, and many of them Orthodox, whose faith was integral to their work.

Mr. Heitzenrater, Headmaster of Chrysostom Academy, explores what exactly an Orthodox school looks like, how it will differ from other schools, and why it is not merely the same old curriculum with some prayers added.

Dr. Chris Perrin of Classical Academic Press and Scholé Academy begins the conference introducing us to the rich heritage of Paideia that comes to us from our Saints and Tradition, and what this heritage entails.

This week Dr. Jenkins looks at three defenders of Chalcedon and touches on a fourth, and treats their varied approaches to the question, each of which aims to show that Cyril of Alexandria was a Chalcedonian.

This episode Dr. Jenkins looks at some of the main defenders of Chalcedon, and how they could sometimes be more a hindrance than a help in the defense of the Faith.

This week Dr. Jenkins explores why the Church found itself in such chaos following the Council of Chalcedon, and how under the emperor St. Justinian a resolution was advanced that answered matters not addressed by Chalcedon without undermining it.

This episode Dr. Jenkins covers the ecclesio-political struggle over Chalcedon, especially during the reign of Anastasius I after the death of Zeno in 491.

This episode we continue our look at the Council of Chalcedon and its aftermath. Dr. Jenkins discusses the emperor Zeno's attempt to heal the schism in the East by his political sleight of hand called The Henotikon: an effort to bridge the gap created by those who rejected Chalcedon by asking them to ignore it.
