John Hodges does not go to great lengths to toot his own horn, which is natural for a well-developed Christian, so I will take this opportunity to remind those involved with the Institute about the qualifications of the man leading us in this experiment.
I want to point to one of John's accomplishments--his participation in The Trinity Arts Conference from several years ago. If you look at the other participants, you will see that John keeps good company. Several of the other speakers are nationally known writers and academics who have written important books on the relationship between Christianity and Culture.
I wanted to inform readers of this blog about John's background to help promote the Institute by helping you to see that John has spent much time and effort in getting to where he is today. Please give the Institute due consideration in whatever fashion you can, knowing that the impetus behind it results from a vigorous Christian vision that has been shaped by years of thought and work.
