“It tells of the extraordinary web of relationships the Lord wove around them as they began to understand that true education is perhaps more about a culture than it is about a curriculum; that it is more about a way of life than it is merely a way of doing; that it is a vision of what God has called us to rather than a mechanical set of prescriptives; that it is about faith, family, and community..."
