Dooyeweerd consultation - I

I have just returned from two full days in Baltimore as part of a conversation amongst academics and practitioners who are in some sense indebted to Herman Dooyeweerd's political and legal theory. There were about 20 of us altogether and we met at the Holiday Inn at the Baltimore-Washington Airport. The gathering was organized primarily by James W. Skillen of the Center for Public Justice, an organization to which I have belonged for just under three decades. A number of institutions were represented, including the Center itself, the CLAC/WRF, the Free University of Amsterdam, the Institute for Christian Studies, Redeemer University College (of course), Dordt College, Trinity Christian College, The King's University College, Gordon College, Olivet Nazarene University, Emory University, Washington and Lee University, The College of New Jersey and Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. The conversations were stimulating and it was helpful to have in one room so many people whom I either had not seen in a long time or had only heard about.

I will shortly be writing about this unprecedented event at somewhat greater length. Stay tuned.
