Thomas leading morning meeting after Morning Prayer today.
This morning The Institute for Family Studies published my essay “Boys to Men: Ushering Boys Into Manhood”:
When we consciously remove a boy from the domestic sphere, purposefully separating him from his childhood, when we then initiate him into manhood through challenge, and then assimilate him into an adult vocation and community, we are honoring the givenness of his development.
IFS is an incredible institution, and it is very much an honor to be featured in their (digital) pages.
The essay was based, in part, on a talk I recently gave at The Center for Christian Study at UVA, as well as an earlier talk at the CiRCE Institute’s National Conference and my recent essay in Touchstone Magazine. You can find those and other press here.
