Join Ms. Peterson for a series of two talks (October, Mondays, 16 & 23) to explore Christian people, institutions, and writings in the colonial and revolutionary periods. Learn how Christianity shaped the way colonists and early Americans thought about themselves, others and their “promised land”: America.

Join Mr. Kreifeldt for a series of three talks to learn why 40% of the art in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is fake according to its former director, Thomas Hoving (1967–1977). Some of the reasons being, genuine works that become misattributed as something else; or works so extensively restored that little of the original remains; or works purposely made to deceive. John will examine a particularly notorious example of each of Hoving’s three types with lessons to be learned.
