Two centuries ago, in an era still dominated by monarchy, a few scattered colonists had the vision, courage, and character to create the world's first constitutional republic. Today, the United States of America still owes her greatness to the men who founded her, and to the God they worshiped. During PHC's Founders in Focus week, you will delve into the world of George Washington, James Madison, Patrick Henry, and their contemporaries. In addition to classroom instruction focusing on the lives, faith, and legacy of the founding fathers, the week will also feature visits to Mount Vernon, Montpelier, and Monticello. For some people, events in the world of politics are treated much like the weather.
People often talk a lot about it, but few attempt to bring about change.
If you are the type who wants to make a difference, then PHC's Politics in Focus week is for you. During this action-packed week you will hear from experienced political activists who are making a difference even now. You will be thrust into the role of an important political actor in a mock legislative session. And you will be forced to find that difficult line between politics and principle in the legislative process. There will also be field trips to the halls of power in Washington.
