Veritas Academy will sponsor a lecture oriented toward parents of children in kindergarten through 12th grade on Thursday, March 7, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Wheatland Presbyterian Church, 1125 Columbia Ave., Lancaster. Dr. Andrew Mitchell will present the lecture, titled "Hungry Souls in a Self-Affirming Culture: Rediscovering the Beauty of Food and Feasting." Parents, teachers, and community members are invited to attend.
Mitchell will address a hunger that needs to be satisfied, different than stomachs seeking to be filled or personalities seeking affirmation. He will encourage those in attendance to reclaim mealtimes as more than the intersection of food and beverages, but rather as the convergence of history, poetry, and theology.
Mitchell earned his bachelor's degree from Hillsdale College and his master's and doctorate degrees from The Ohio State University. He is an associate professor of history at Grove City College.
There is no fee for the lecture, but reservations are required, as space is limited. To register, readers may visit http://www.veritasacademy.com/feasting-event or call 717-205-3617. The event is co-sponsored by Veritas Academy and The Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College.
