A virtual workshop covering the history of Mason's "Great Recognition" and its implications for a classical, Christian education.
Mason's "capital idea" was that there was no separation between the sacred and the secular, making the Holy Spirit the teacher of all things. This idea was her most revolutionary and had the biggest impact upon her philosophy of education.
Inspired by a fresco in a monastery in Florence, Mason believed that her conception of what truly defines an education as living set her philosophy apart from all others.
In this workshop, we examine the history of the idea, take a look at the fresco that inspired it, and ponder the implications of the idea upon education.
