CMER 2023: Session Change

We are happy to share that Don Rhymer will be joining us again this year. His session – Jesus’ Bible Lessons: The Savior’s Discussion with Others Over the Word – will happen during Session F in place of A Living Atmosphere.

Jesus’ Bible Lessons

The Savior’s Discussion with Others Over the Word

Workshop Presented by Don Rhymer

Toward the end of A Philosophy of Education, Miss Mason writes of Bible Lessons, “It is only by trying the method oneself on such an incident, for example, as the visit of Nicodemus or the talk with the woman of Samaria, that we realize the wonderful clearness with which each incident is brought out, the fullness of meaning with which every phrase is invested by such personal effort” (VI, 272-273). This talk will focus on these two incidents, looking specifically at Jesus’ “little talk” or “Discussion” in each Bible Lesson. Though not the “Word” himself, we can still, by the Spirit, emulate Christ’s use of Scripture and questions. Such work should not only aid our child’s apprehension of the Bible text in the short term, but Lord-willing facilitate a potential greater recognition moment in the long term.

CMER 2023: Lodging

The 2023 CMER lodging is almost full. We have no more private lodging, limited lodging for married couples, and 12 spots left in 3, 4, or 5-man rooms. We have added links to local hotels on the Information and Policies page.

If the lodging you would like is not available, we encourage you to still register. We receive cancellations each year, and we will work through the waiting list in the order registrations are received.

Persuasion

We are looking forward to a book discussion as one of our evening activities. Please join us in a relaxed time of gathering to share our thoughts and discoveries together after reading Jane Austen’s 19th century novel Persuasion. Published in 1817, but dated 1818, this was Austen’s last completed novel. After years apart, unmarried Anne Elliot encounters the dashing naval officer others persuaded her to reject (Bantam Classics 1989). Thrown together because of Anne’s family’s circumstances, she and Captain Wentworth become reacquainted with him now regarded as a man of status and fortune. Amid the developing plans of others, and social life in the country and in Bath, Anne and Captain Wentworth are tried in situations humorous and poignant as to each of their responses to the past. I invite you to enter that world by reading this novel in time for our retreat and then join in our conversation together.

As you read the novel, consider keeping a Commonplace book to record the passages and dialogue that spark your interest, enjoyment, and reflection.
