A nightmare inspired by his "little Gothic castle" drove Horace Walpole (1717-1797) to write The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story that has never been out of print since published anonymously in 1764. Walpole built Strawberry Hill over a period of 40 years. He was terrified that he was illegitimate: Sir Robert Walpole, his putative father (Prime Minister for 20 years) and his adored mother Catherine, Lady Walpole, were both flagrantly unfaithful. Critics have assumed that Horace was unaware of the gossip, but "Otranto," an exoneration of Richard III (1768), and a Shakespearean blank-verse tragedy "The Mysterious Mother" (1768), suggest otherwise.

Bats are a valuable and fascinating part of Georgia’s ecosystems. They provide a beneficial service by foraging on flying insects, many of which are considered pests. Bats in Georgia are facing threats from habitat loss, diminished food resources, and disease pressure. Despite the benefits that bats provide to their local ecosystems and to humans, they are misunderstood and undervalued members of our local wildlife communities. Learn more about these elusive creatures and what we can do to support them in our own landscapes.

The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 is perhaps the best example of Jesus' core teachings in the gospels, and yet it occupies almost no place in the historic creeds or practical Christian life today, as it is often deemed high-minded and idealistic, but impractical. In this class series, we will recover this neglected text's radical vision for discipleship and community and consider its powerful present-day relevance.
