As this year marks the 150th anniversary of Chesterton’s birth, the conference will focus on “The Rebirth of Chesterton – Insight and Foresight”.
Dale will report on the remarkable Chesterton revival in America and elsewhere, as well as on the phenomenal growth of the Chesterton Schools – now numbering more than 70 – which were inspired by his co-founding of the first such school in 2007 to provide a Catholic liberal arts education for young students.
Among the other speakers will be:
- Campion’s Dean of Studies, Stephen McInerney, on the pioneering work of John Senior in developing an integrated program of humanities studies;
- Property economist, Garrick Small, on the practical alliance between big government and big business today; and
- Australian Chesterton Society President, Karl Schmude, on the realisation of Chesterton’s prophecies in such areas as human reason, economic organisation, and sexual freedom.
