This year’s theme is: “The Old Myth and the New.” Attendees will engage with local professors and explore how ancient myths—like those found in Scripture, classical literature, and Christian tradition—formed a moral and spiritual imagination. Then turn to the new myths—the stories told by our modern culture through media, technology, and ideology—and examine how they are forming, and deforming, the worldview of emerging generations.
