Hall of Men Annual Meeting on January 26

The New Year has begun, and the official "kickoff" to Hall of Men 2023 will be the Annual Meeting at The Ladder Thursday evening. 


Over the years we've developed several traditions for this meeting, including the reading of a letter sent early in HoM history by the father of Hall of Men co-founder George Elder–an impassioned appeal to adjust the Hall of Men meeting days to resolve a most grievous scheduling conflict. This retelling of a humorous, but essential, part of the history of our fellowship has become one of many favorite EDI traditions.


And for those of you who were unable to be with us at the Symposium banquet, I'll also offer a brief toast to St Paul of Thebes who we celebrated at the banquet.


For the full 2023 schedule of meetings and heroes being presented, click here. And we are always looking for volunteers to bring food for our meetings. Take a look at that schedule of meetings and let me know if you can bring food to one of them (you can respond to this email).


Come ready to inaugurate another year of celebrating our heroes, reflecting on what it means to be men of faith and courage, and working toward the renewal of our culture. 


If you haven’t seen a Catholic listen to the life story of John Wesley; if you haven’t watched a Protestant learn about Evagrius of Pontus; and if you haven’t seen Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant men sit around a table together and talk theology until midnight . . . then you need to come to the Hall of Men.

 

When: The Commemoration of St Symeon the Elder of Mount Sinai, Anno Domini 2023, January 26


Where: The Ladder


Schedule: Doors open at 7 pm; food served at 7:30 pm; Eighth Day Convocation at 8:30 pm; annual meeting immediately following Convocation.
