Pétanque (pronounced pay tonk) is an international sport from France. Related to Italian bocce ball, the game involes opposing teams rolling or throwing metal balls at a smaller wooden target-ball. Pétanque has an ancient, fascinating history, provides many mental and physical benefits, and is quick and easy to learn. It is gentle on the body--requiring finesse, cooperative team strategizing, and brains not brawn. It is a game of concentration, coordination, camaraderie, and FUN. Come learn to play this quintessential part of French and world culture. A video to learn more about Pétanque: https://youtu.be/YXUkofUi-ps

This course will explore the interplay of two great animating ideals in America's political history: The Republic of Reason--the belief that by applying the Enlightenment era notion of "Progress through Reason," America could be a model for the world. The City on a Hill--the desire to make our New World nation a truly Godly community that foreshadows the Second Coming. These seemingly incompatible ideals converged to make the American Revolution possible and ever since have performed a dance of alternating convergence and repulsion that has often, as seen today, been at the center of our political life.
