Registration required (includes a copy of Martin Shaw’s newest book). For questions\, please contact Margaux Taffet mtaffet@lumenchristi.org. \nLecture Description\n\nThere’s an old Irish belief that if you aren’t wrapped in a cloak of story you will be unprepared for what the world will hurl at you. You remain adolescent at just the moment a culture worth its salt requires you to become a real\, grown\, human being.  \nWe live in a myth-impoverished age and that such poverty has left us vulnerable to stories that may not wish us well. Myths from antiquity are vivid in describing the conditions of life.  \nChristianity goes a step further in providing the most extraordinary example of how to live that life. Working out of examples from Arthurian and fairy tale motifs\, acclaimed mythographer Martin Shaw will show how\, if ‘all true is God’s truth’\, profound Christian resonances can be found in many mythic traditions.  \nHow do stories assist us in the making of a real human being? In troubled times how could we forge a deeper life? Join the Lumen Christi Institute as it welcomes Dr. Martin Shaw for an event celebrating the release of his new book Liturgies of the Wild.
