A major concern in the Classical Christian Renewal movement is the lack of “classically aligned” families in our communities. The problem is that these families rarely exist. An even greater issue, not talked about enough, is that while our students are being educated in a classically Christian paideia, this “enculturating” effort is stymied by the fact that this classical Christian culture doesn’t exist outside the walls of our school. This talk, borrowing some of the strategies of Alcuin in his effort to Christianize the Kingdom of Charlemange, seeks to encourage and give practical strategies for ACCS schools to be the Christianizing center of influence in their communities by working with and for families, churches, business and civic leaders.
