    The Guiding Principles of the Alcuin Institute


  • The Cultivation of Authentic Friendship
    Both eductaion and culture are 'handed down'
    most effectively in a community of freinds.
     
    The transmission of the faith—like the sharing of a glass of wine or a loaf of bread—is a communal act.  Alcuin’s educational program hinged upon what was later described by Bl. John Henry Cardinal Newman as the importance of “personal influence.”  Cor ad cor loquitur , Newman tells us, “Heart speaks to heart.”  One drinks with friends, just as one should transmit the faith within the context of deep & authentic friendship. 

    Like Alcuin and Newman, our faculty treasures the importance of deep friendship centered on Christ.  To this end the Alcuin Institute is committed to the cultivating authentic friendships, so that through these the heart may be open to truth, truth may be pursued, and the will rightly formed … all while having a good time.
















     



     

    " This is a wonderful way to learn about my faith and to learn in community. "
