Women staying at home until marriage? How retrograde.

But seriously... staying at home and contributing to the household, either through tasks in the home or by earning an income outside of the home... meanwhile having the protection of the father. What could better foster a family- and communal-centered courtship process?

"The Humane Vision of Wendell Berry"

ISI Regional Leadership Conference
Saturday, October 20, 2007

Location
The Seelbach Hotel
500 Fourth Street
Louisville, KY 40202
Directions

Program Overview
Wendell Berry, through his poetry, social and literary criticism, and novels defends an authentically American civil and social order that is best exemplified in our nation's small communities and rural attachments. While recognizing that progress must be reconciled against our shared experience and knowledge bequeathed to us by our ancestors, Berry provides an indispensable literary compass for those looking to restore the remnants of shattered culture.

ISI, along with the Philadelphia Society and the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville, will convene a one-day conference at the historic Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. Participants will be led to consider Berry's vision of the human in light of current political, economic, and cultural realities. Join ISI's best and brightest students and faculty in this daylong conference. Seating is limited, register today.
