These are conferences sponsored by the Fellowship of St James, Chicago, IL, which publishes Touchstone Magazine.  Touchstone is a Christian journal, conservative in doctrine and eclectic in content, with editors and readers from each of the three divisions of Christendom - Orthodox, Protestant and Roman Catholic.  The mission of the journal and its conferences is to provide a place where Christians of various backgrounds can speak with one another on the basis of shared belief in the fundamental doctrines of the faith as revealed in Holy Scripture and summarized in the ancient creeds of the Church.

This is not a movement to combine churches regardless of doctrine and practice.  Rather, it is a genuine sharing of common beliefs in our Triune God and our salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Praying & Staying Together: Keeping Your Family Christian in a Hell-Bent World.
44 - Family

These thirteen talks were recorded October 21-23, 2004 in Mundelein, Illinois. All talks have been edited for quality and are available on audio cassette and Compact Discs. The following review is written by Don Lourie.

Five Plenary Sessions:

TS-44-21     Blessed Presence: Your House As a Holy Place - Thomas Howard
This is a room by room tour of a house with a description of the activities which can lead to holiness for each room. This fascinating talk leads one through the living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom and finally the bathroom. This is a very well crafted talk, typical of any Tom Howard article. It’s dignified, thoughtful and edifying. "Every activity becomes holy when it is offered as an oblation to God"

TS-44-22     Sex: What We Already Know - J. Budziszewski
Natural law is being challenged by today’s godless culture. The sex craze is destroying homes, children, colleges, media and our future as a nation. Natural law says that the proper purpose of sexual powers in men and women is to procreate. It also says that sexual power requires marriage and family life. Any other way that sexual powers are used is against nature, God and our future. This talk is about sex in marriage. It’s not explicit but graphic at times. It’s balanced, tough and practical. This has far more punch than the normal fare heard at church or family life seminars.

TS-44-23     Habits of Character on Being a Good Son or Daughter - Vigen Guroian
Character is the real measure of success; not fame or fortune. How can we build character into our children? Dr. Guroian believes we do this with telling our children stories. These stories come from the Scriptures, our own personal history, the literary classics and from fairy tales. This talk is wonderful for parents and grandparents. This talk and the one called Bedtime Reading for Parents and Child will encourage you with the various ways to use good children’s literature to develop a child’s moral imagination.
Dr. Guroian tells what books can be the most influential and the most entertaining for your children. When our children were young we read to them each night. I wish I had heard this message when my children were small. I would have done more to read the best stories.
Books he discusses. The Princess and the Goblin, The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio,. Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and The Chronicles of Narnia.

TS-44-24     In Your Face: Media & Christian Family Values - Rod Dreher
"If parents wish to preserve a childhood for their own children, they must conceive of parenting as an act of rebellion against culture" Media critic Neal Postman
This is the thesis of Rod Dreher’s talk. He is a tough newspaper man who keeps his Christian convictions close but also takes a common sense approach to life. In this talk he discuses media bias against family and Christian values, talks about advertising, movies books and the sodomite culture. He advocates turning our Christian homes in monasteries as a way to protect the innocence of our children as long as possible.
He and his wife moved from New York City to Dallas to facilitate raising their young children in a less adverse culture. This talk is balanced, tough, practical, inspiring, well reasoned, etc. This is the first talk in the 64 Touchstone talks I have recorded over the past 9 years that received a standing ovation! This is a great message to listen to then pass on to your local new editors and TV anchors!

TS-44-25     A Toy and Icon and a Work of Art: The Power of Images
- Frederica Mathewes-Green
Frederica is a beautiful speaker. This talk contrasts the art of the Eastern and Western Church in the 17th Century with a look at the crucifixion of Jesus. Then it contrasts this with a modern teddy bear with a crucifixion scene painted on it that is sold in some Christian book stores today. The contrasts she brings out reveal how our culture is now failing to honor truth and beauty to our detriment.

Eight Breakout Sessions: (Small groups with good audience participation)

TS-44-26     Bedtime Reading for Parent & Child - J. Budziszewski & Vigen Guroian
"Most current children's literature is trash or worse." Modern books do not help a child develop character nor develop virtue in a child's heart.
This is a most encouraging discussion by two brilliant teachers and fathers. They both encourage reading to your children at least 1 to 2 hours per day, every day! They say, turn off the TV and develop godly children. Good audience discussion of the topic. Books recommended and discussed are The Frog and Toad picture books for young children, The Owl, The Raven and the Dove, A Boy and His Frog, The King of the Golden River.

TS-44-27     The Liturgical Home - Thomas Howard & Frederica Mathewes-Green
Just when you think you’ve heard all the best talks on the home along comes this one! Wow! Tom Howard opens his heart to share his upbringing in a home steeped with prayer and family scripture reading. He tells how that daily family time has so affected his life his marriage and his ministry. Frederica adds so much from her love of Orthodox literature to fill out this inspiring session on making your home a place of prayer and peace. The comments and questions from the audience are very helpful. This is practical, inspiring and fun to listen to. Oh, and did I mention that it was also inspiring?

TS-44-28     Choosing & Dating or Courting Disaster - Thomas Howard & Kevin Offner
Our culture does not honor marriage yet our innocent youth follow the culture into the black hole of bad decisions about love, mates and marriage. More and more men and women are remaining single. Offner and Howard offer practical ways to return to a Christian way of dating and finding a mate.

a.	Christian singles need to decide early on whether to make marriage or celibacy a priority
b.	Christian singles need to challenge the conventional wisdom on what they should be looking for in a future spouse.
c.	Christian singles need to bring third parties into the whole dating process.
d.	We need to have distinct gender roles in dating.
e.	We need to encourage intentional dating. That is dating to find a spouse.

Tom Howard adds his insights as a college professor as he has viewed the dating habits of students for the last 30 years. Get this talk and give it to singles in your family and church. They will thank you for it!

TS-44-29     In Loco Parentis: Christian College Prep - Vigen Guroian & Kevin Offner
College is not what it used to be. Coed dorms, risqué’ behavior, lust, greed, drugs, drink and morally liberal professors are not what most Christian parents want for their little darlings. Most colleges can’t and won’t keep watch over your child like you would. This talk is scary, sobering and yet helpful. Sadly, most of the degrees taken by students have been purchased by the parents and the state instead of earned by the student through hard study and proper academic discourse. These men advocate strong parental guidelines and close contact with students in college. This talk is tough but also gives a way to help.

TS-44-30     Discerning Gold on the Silver Screen - Rod Dreher & David Mills
Rod followed Michael Medved as the movie reviewer at the New York Post. He tells why you should not trust movie reviews! He and David discuss several movies and tell how to make better choices in movies if you want to do that sort of thing. They suggest ways to find reviews that coincide with your beliefs. This is a thoughtful and interesting presentation.

TS-44-31     Human Fertility & Christian Identity - Juli Loesch Wiley & J. Budziszewski
The contraception practiced since the 1930’s has changed the family and has led to abortion on demand, a lower birthrate , economic decline, compromised moral values and a deepening threat by Islam against our corrupt culture! That is just the start of this talk. This discussion was a real ear burner from me. The moderators advocate proper moral, Christian family planning and large families if you can afford them. They maintain that the future of the human race is at stake here. Their position seems far out. But I came to realize as I listened that I was the one far out and they are just asking us to return to normal.

TS-44-32     Minding The Media - Frederica Mathewes-Green & Rod Dreher
Most media is anti-Christian, anti-family and anti-church. And the media promotes godless behavior, Islam, sodomite behavior and a glorification of the bizarre. Most who control the media are culturally liberal regardless of their political leanings. The Republican run Fox network is as guilty of slamming the truth as the Democratic Columbia Broadcast Syndicate.
Rod and Frederica share how they keep a good attitude toward their acquaintances and colleagues in this war for the dollars and souls of Americans. They both discuss tolerance of their co-workers and constituents without compromising their personal Christian virtues. They encourage virtuous young people to take up media as a profession to help turn the tide back to righteous behavior in media. Get this talk and share it with the religion editor of your local paper.

TS-44-33     The Christian at Home School - Juli Loesch Wiley & Thomas Buchanan
The moderators both home school and tell the many advantages of home school for developing critical thinking and good work habits. Public schools rarely teach virtue or critical thinking. Public education wants conforming behavior, not leadership from students. These are broad statements for most American education. If you are fortunate enough to have good schools with Christian teachers, this may not apply to you situation. But a recent look at the vote in the 2000 presidential election shows that the votes that went for Al Gore came from the highest crime areas and the most liberal schools. Home schooling may be some parents only option in these areas and this session gives good resources to begin your own home school.

The Time Is Near: The Apocalyptic Imagination in an Age of Anxiety  
75 - Apocalypse

TS-75-01     The Return of the Lord or the End of the World?
The Divided Frames of Apocalyptic Expectation by S. M. Hutchens

In the New Testament, believers are told about the Lord’s Return primarily in response to their concerns about the church at the consummation of the world—to inform on basic matters, to comfort, and to warn against false teaching and moral laxity in light of the imminent parousia. The scriptural tone is solemn, monitory, and meant to encourage hope and sobriety. As with all Christian teachings, however, these have been over time subject to morbid preoccupations. This paper sketches broadly, with examples, both the pathological and hygienic aspects of apocalyptic expectation, in hope of providing a useful framework for further discussion of the subject.

TS-75-02     Apocalypse Then & Now:
                    Medieval Imaginings of the Apocalypse by Leon J. Podles

Christian, linear history reveals in the Apocalypse the end of a world. Pagan cyclical history sees the end and rebirth of many worlds. These visions were reconciled in the image of history as an upward spiral, culminating in a final crisis. Christians also looked within history for a theologically significant event that would divide history between the earthly life of Christ and the Last Judgment into a before and after. The last age will begin with the coming and defeat of Antichrist, or an Angelic Pope or the Last Emperor. This last age would see human institutions, state and church reach their fulfillment. Both C. S. Lewis and Tolkien also drew from such pagan and Christian eschatology in their fantasy writings.

TS-75-03     Apocalypse Then and Now:
Frivolity at the World's End by Alan Jacobs

One of the chief features of the "apocalyptic imagination" in literature and film over the last half-century is the transformation of the Apocalypse into something minor, comical, or even inconsequential. Both Christian and thoroughly un-Christian models of the end have suffered from this malady. Some works are unintentionally comic or trivial, while others consciously explore the comic possibilities of the end of the world. But all alike betray the routinization of the apocalyptic, its conscription into the everyday world. One wonders, surveying this territory, how it might be possible for contemporary minds to rediscover the true profundities of this world's end.

TS-75-04     Rewriting the Future:
A New Catholic Scenario for the End Times by Sandra Miesel

Over the past half-century, a new scenario for the End Times has emerged among Catholics. Driven by private "revelations," ideas inherited from the Middle Ages have been replaced by a sequence of Warning-Miracle-Chastisement culminating in the Three Days of Darkness, followed by a fresh start for a purified world before the final End. These expectations are mirror images of Evangelical millennialist notions of the Rapture and have also become entangled in conservative political concerns and conspiracy theories. Many devout Catholics are drawn to the new scenario because they no longer trust the institutional Church. This unhealthy situation needs critical attention to avoid disillusionment when the promised signs and wonders fail to materialize.

TS 75-05     His Coming in Consuming Glory:
The Apocalypse in Orthodox Tradition by Vigen Guroian

Dr. Guroian's principle concern was to emphasize and explore in some depth the Eastern Church's liturgical and eschatological interpretation of Christ's coming again in glory and the in-breaking of the Kingdom of Heaven, which is at the heart of New Testament apocalypticism. In the Orthodox tradition, the kenotic Incarnation of the Son of God is symbolically correlated with his glorious coming again at the end of this age. The Gospels and other New Testament sources testify that, even in the course of the Son of God's kenotic first coming, his divine glory was manifested, such as by his Baptism, Transfiguration, Resurrection, and Ascension. Looking backward, these events are connected with the Burning Bush (Exodus 3:2, 19:18) and the pillar of cloud (Exodus 14:19, 19:19), and looking forward, to the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory (Mark 13: 26). Likewise, the Orthodox tradition interprets 2 Peter's imagery of a consuming fire in strict relation to the flames of Pentecost, as sign and signification of the hallowing action of the Holy Spirit in the Parousia event.

TS-75-06     The American Evangelical Apocalypse:
Premillennialism & Literal Biblical Interpretations by Craig Blaising

In this paper, Dr. Blaising presented an overview and commentary on past and present American Evangelical views on the Apocalypse. He focused especially on the project of maintaining consistently literal interpretations of various biblical texts dealing with the Second Coming, the Antichrist, and the Rapture from a premillennialist perspective.

TS-75-07     The Spirit of Antichrist:
The Coming Universal Spiritual Order by James Hitchcock

Traditional ideas of the Antichrist often portray him not as the overt enemy of the faith but as so seductive as to delude believers into taking him as a new messiah. Thus the Antichrist will not be openly anti-Christian but will claim to bring about the fulfillment of existing faiths. Throughout history Christians have differed as to whether the Antichrist will be a person or some kind of institution. Speculation about the identity of the Antichrist is fruitless, perhaps even sinful, in accordance with Jesus' warning.

But at the present juncture of history it seems possible to identify certain forces which in effect work to undermine Christianity in the name of a higher and more authentic spiritual truth and which are not embodied in one man but in certain institutions and movements and the men who control them. One of the major challenges that Christians now face is to maintain the integrity of their beliefs in the teeth of immense pressures to become part of an emergent world religion of secular humanitarianism, which will supposedly incorporate the best elements of traditional faiths.

TS-75-08     The Book of Revelation as Liturgical Prophecy:
The Apocalypse in Biblical Perspective by Patrick Henry Reardon

In this talk, the Book of Revelation is treated as a work of liturgical prophecy. Accordingly there were two parts. First, the book was compared with other prophetic works of Holy Scripture, in order to determine how it should be interpreted. Second, the book was set within the liturgical life of the first-century Christians.

Design and Its Critics. June 22-24, 2000  
    Conference on Intelligent Design
    Hosted by Concordia University Wisconsin

The presentations at this conference promoted several sides of the debate on evolution vs. creation.  Intelligent design seeks to find a scientifically viable alternative to Darwinian biology yet at the same time stay away from sectarian issues that could exclude it from the public school arena.  Some of the speakers are Darwinian in outlook and yet have very good issues to address.  These tapes will be an excellent resource for high school and college science teachers and students.  These are not Orthodox teaching.  It is not our regular fare.  For that, see the rest of the catalog.

Return to the Father's House: God the Father & Human Fatherhood  
44 - Family

This is one of those conferences when as I listened, I was wishing more could hear the speakers.  I urge you to purchase a set of this conference because it will give you a solid biblical world view of what the current problems are and how we can begin to address the problems in our own families.

My wife said, "I want our sons to hear these messages."

In this age of redefining marriage and the family, it is time to look again at traditional Christian teaching on fatherhood.  It is time to return to the Father’s house and to reappropriate its beauty and order in our churches and our families.

The language and imagery of fatherhood, human and divine, is an integral part of the Christian revelation and The Fellowship of St. James invites you to join the Touchstone editors and staff as we reexamine the connection between our churches and our families.

Plenary Sessions:

TS-44-01     Who’s the Father?
by David Blankenhorn
    Author of Fatherless America and president of the Institute for American Values, he focused on the impact on America of the absence of fathers, and the need for society at large to rediscover the religious dimension of fatherhood.

TS-44-02     Why Men Are Leaving the Churches
Read by James Kushiner.
    Leon Podles has studied why so many men have left the churches in his newly published book The Church Impotent: The Feminization of Christianity. He presents his findings, along with suggestions for how to encourage men to become fully engaged in the work of the Church, whether as laymen or clergy.

TS-44-03     The Psychology of Fatherhood
by Paul Vitz
    Author of Psychology as Self-Worship and Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism, he taught how the Christian doctrine of God the Father fits with human psychological needs.

TS-44-04     Portrait of a Christian Father
     In this touching and sensitive message Mr. Hutchens shares several highlights of his own upbringing and proclaims the power of a godly father.

TS-44-05     Why We Call God "Father"
by John Miller
    Author of Calling God Father, Essays on the Bible, Fatherhood and Culture, he shows how the term "Father" is integral to the Biblical revelation of the nature of God.

TS-44-06     Toward the Recovery of Fatherhood
by John Haas
    Mr. Haas is of the International Institute for Culture. He outlined steps that Christians—and not only fathers—can take to recover the category of fatherhood in our homes and churches.

TS-44-07     The Return to the Father: Patriarchy and Hierarchy
by Patrick Henry Reardon
    Senior editor of Touchstone, he shows that the Christian revelation assumes not only fatherhood but also a clear understanding of hierarchy; stripping these from our vocabulary and our practice will leave only an emaciated and unattractive imitation of Christianity.

TS-44-08     Final Discussion
    with Plenary Speakers who gave a few noted on their talks and then answered questions.

Return to the Father's House: Plenary Sessions: -- TS-44-01/08

This conference gave an articulate defense of the traditional Christian teaching on fatherhood, with emphasis on the ways that human fatherhood is reflective of the Fatherhood of God. Conference sessions considered the effects on society of the erosion of fatherhood through feminism and other societal changes.

The speakers examined the Christian understanding of fatherhood in contrast to the way that contemporary society is recasting it. The concepts are all grounded in the relation between human fatherhood and the Fatherhood of God within the Holy Trinity.

These workshops on specific topics relate to the theme of the conference as a whole. These sessions are very practical and stimulating. All the speakers were grounded in the biblical record and the Christian tradition on the family.

Workshop Presentations:

TS-44-09     Issues on Fatherhood
with Touchstone Editors

TS-44-10     Fatherhood in Pop Culture
Denis Haack
    How to use our culture to show truth. Shows how to spend time with young people to reach them for Christ by using the culture they already identify with.

TS-44-11     Spiritual Dimensions of Fatherhood
D. Keller
    How does God the Father model His fatherhood so we can imitate Him?

TS-44-12     Recovering Fatherhood in Pastoral Care
Tim Bayly
    This is a challenge to pastors to speak the truth about sin to their flock; to love them enough to discipline them.

There is no tape TS-44-13. Thank you.

TS-44-14     What Is a Christian Father?
David Mills & J. Kushiner

TS-44-15     New Testament Exegetical Issues
H. Wayne House
    Why feminism is full of false teaching. Great explanation from Genesis 1 and then into Ephesians.

TS-44-16     Preparing Single Men for Marriage
Kevin Offner
    Could be subtitled "How a man should pursue a woman." Practical advice for today’s young uncommitted men.

"In The World": The Gospel of the Resurrection in a Culture of Death  
06 - Ecumenism

The speakers each address how we should think and live in a dying culture.  Dying that is to Christian values and principles that will keep us free.  All the speakers had good points and stated their topics well.

"Not of This World": An Ecumenical Conference for Traditional Christians  
06 - Ecumenism

This conference does not imply that we are ecumenists.  Nor should it imply that we are in favor of union with Rome.  If anything, the conference revealed the futility of any idea of union in the near future.  The purpose of the conference was twofold.  1. To meet in an atmosphere of mutual charity that would be spiritually therapeutic for all and 2. Energize all to go back to their communities and work to root out theological liberalism within their respective bodies.

This conference was held at Rose Hill College in Aiken, South Carolina, May 16-20, 1995.  There were eighteen speakers from the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions.

Each formal presentation had two formal responses and after these responses is a time of free discussion between the speakers which is very lively and enlightening.  Don't miss out on the best part of this conference!  Listen to the responses and the main speakers defend their positions!
