Broadly applicable to a variety of ages, the educational focus will be:
1. the instruments themselves (how they are played & what makes them different from modern instruments)

Men's Advent Retreat
The Men's Retreat will take place at Gaie Lea, a family home of Alice Malcolm's, in Staunton. It begins on Friday, December 6, with Evening Prayer at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner and the first devotion led by Bishop Chad Jones. You won't want to miss his first talk on Friday night so please plan accordingly! On Saturday, Bishop Chad will lead us again in Morning Prayer and another devotion before he has to leave in the afternoon. Saturday afternoon will be led by All Saints clergy and that evening will be dedicated to fellowship. We will leave on Sunday, December 8, for mass at All Saints.
The devotions during the retreat will focus on acedia and the virtues that counteract this modern plague. In a 2003 First Things article, Rusty Reno summarizes this complex vice and the need for Christians to be attentive to it: "Acedia is a word of Greek origin that means, literally, 'without care.' In the Latin tradition of the seven deadly sins, it comes down to us as tristitia or otiositas, sadness or idleness. But citing synonyms and translations will not do. For the monastic tradition, acedia or sloth is a complex spiritual state that defies simple definition. It describes a lassitude and despair that overwhelms spiritual striving. Sloth is not mere idleness or laziness; it involves a torpor animi, a dullness of the soul that can stem from restlessness just as easily as from indolence."
Look for an e-mail invitation later this month with a sign up, ways to volunteer, and readings to help prepare for the retreat.

Saints Bio: Ss. Crispin & Crispinian
Saints Crispin and Crispinian are the French patron saints of cobblers, tanners, and leathers workers. Born to a noble Roman family in the 3rd Century the twin brothers fled persecution and ended up in Soissons in Northern France. There they preached Christ to the Gauls and supported themselves by making shoes at night. Their success in preaching the Gospel enraged the Roman prefect, Rictius Varus, who had them tortured and thrown into a river with millstones tied around their necks. Though they survived that ordeal, Roman authorities had them beheaded in the year 286. You may recall the name, Crispin, from the famous “St. Crispin’s Day Speech” delivered by Henry V just the before the Battle of Agincourt in Shakespeare’s The Life of Henry the Fifth.
