The German Lutheran pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) has long been admired for his brilliance, faith, and courage in the face of evil. It was almost 80 years ago that he was executed by the Nazis for his role in the resistance to Hitler, and yet many have found that his message and example are still deeply relevant today, especially for American Christians seeking to understand the times and respond faithfully. Join us as we explore his life and writings, and consider the challenge that he squarely places before us.

Members will tour the historic property known as Smithonia Farm. James Monroe Smith was a sharecropper in the 1880's and owned the largest plantation in GA. The current owners will show you their 1905 brick barn known as The Commissary and the property they have restored. The goal of 30 years has been to move away from this shameful part of our history and create a place that enhances the beauty of this area.

Time travel to the 18th century and experience a day in London through the words of Jonathan Swift ("Description of the Morning" and "Description of a City Shower") and the engravings of William Hogarth ("Four Times of the Day"). No doubt you will be happy to return to 21st-century convenience (not to mention hygiene) but you will also see why Swift and Hogarth's contemporary Samuel Johnson would say: "He who is tired of London is tired of life!" It was (and remains) a vibrant, varied place!

Experiential education is best seen as we are doing some activity. Travel is one of the most natural ways to learn because it is so stimulating to the brain. We will discuss this phenomenon and discuss the overall impact of seeing travel as an educational foray. Roberson lived in Croatia for 8 years and in the Czech Republic for 12. We will discuss and focus on the main idea of his book: that travel is schooling.

Humans are remarkably creative in developing medicines for a range of ailments, which raises the question: How do non-human animals find the medicines they need? Many animals do exactly what we do – they pay a visit to their local “pharmacy.” For animals, that pharmacy is represented by the medicinal qualities of the food that they eat. Chimpanzees, birds, crustaceans, and insects can all derive medicinal benefits from what they eat. With a focus on self-medication in monarch butterflies, this lecture will explore how animals use medicinal plants and what we can learn about human drug discovery by watching them.

Earning a purple heart in his early 20s, Shantel was forced to navigate the VA (Veterans Affairs), Social Security disability, and Medicare, often ending confused and frustrated. She believes that no one should have face difficulties alone. This awareness has led to her becoming passionate about educating clients to understand their rights and options.

We’ll watch the series and (ideally) read the Shakespeare plays (Richard II, two parts of Henry IV, and Henry V).

The opulent series stars Jeremy Irons, Julie Walters, Tom Hiddleston, Judy Dench, and an A-List of British actors. Please watch the first episode before the first class, the second before the second, etc.

Experts agree that reading aloud to children plays a key role in their overall growth and development. Educators and caregivers who read aloud to children understand the importance of modeling thinking, providing opportunities to talk about books, and encouraging children to respond to reading with their own thoughts and opinions. This presentation will focus on how to make the most out of storytime by making it engaging and lively. It will address the topics of book choice, planning, interaction with children, and the role of technology in the read-aloud experience.

In just over one hundred and fifty years - 1543 to 1704 - a series of great minds transformed the way we think about nature - and, in doing so, laid the intellectual foundation for modern society. Happily for us, the key figures in the Scientific Revolution - Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, etc. – were also wonderfully eccentric individuals! This course will explore their "distinctive" personalities as well as relishing the beauty and excitement of their transformative ideas.
