"Wherever there has been a revival of Christianity of an enduring kind it has generally found expression in the spontaneous activity of small groups meeting for mutual encouragement, fellowship, and common effort.... How else can a movement come into existence, except by people coming together and sharing their experience and thinking together?" ~ J. H. Oldham

Print is alive and well at EDI.

Theologically, against Gnostic tendencies, "When we read physical books, the text is physically mediated in a delightful, infinite variety of ways. The word comes incarnate in ink and paper and covers. ... The incarnate element involved in reading has nearly disappeared, and our nature as composite beings of flesh and spirit - the nature for which Christ took flesh - are left strangely starved. ... We yearn for physicality - its our created nature - and books satisfy. We mark them, they mark us. It's an intricate, beautiful physical/spiritual dance. "The object and the experience they mediate are inseparable." Good books - good words incarnate - are sacramental. Mediators of grace. And consistent with our nature" (Farha, Synaxis 1.1).

You're Invited!

Whether you are a local Wichitan or live outside of the US, we have envents for you. For non-locals, we have two national conferences - Eighth Day Symposium and Florovsky-Newman Week - plus the Inklings Oktoberfest with the annual Inklings Lecture. If you live near Wichita, the Feast of St. Patrick is worth a short trip to celebrate the great Enlightener of Ireland. If you are local, we have small groups like the Hall of Men and the Sisters of Sophia who toast their heroes, and reading groups like the Cappadocian Society for pastors.

If you are feeling down and out and hopeless about our culture, go to Wichita and take part in what they’re doing there... Eighth Day Institute is a non-profit that is one of the worthiest endeavors I can think of, and which always needs support.
