Eighth Day Institute

Eighth Day Institute We believe that properly crafted educational opportunities play a pivotal role in the renewal of culture.

Our mission is to renew culture by facilitating a dialogue of love and truth that connects people to the classics of Western Civ and exposes them to the early Christian Tradition through teaching, dialogue, feasting & publishing. Hence, all of our educational endeavors seek to be:
• Classical, because timeless classics shed light on ultimate questions that help us better understand ourselves, our

world, and God;
• Liberal in the classical sense of the term, because the liberal arts seek to liberate humans from the unexamined life, i.e from sinful passions that hinder a fully human life;
• Integrative, because the whole human person - body, mind, and spirit - needs to be reintegrated as originally created by God;
• Small & Local, because we hope to provide a model that can be duplicated in other venues; and
• Christian, because we believe historic Christianity as revealed in its scriptures, confessed in its creeds, prayed in its liturgies, defended by its ecumenical councils, and interpreted by its "great cloud of witnesses” is the key to a vibrant culture.
