Faculty members lecture at ADF Areté Academy

Christian law students receive formation for future responsibilities

During the 2016 Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Areté Academy for law students in Vienna, ITI President Dr. Christiaan Alting von Geusau and ITI vistiting professor Dr. Gudrun Kugler presented the following lectures for a group of over 50 highly motivated (mostly) law students from around the world: "Engaging the Public Square" (Kugler) "What is Man: Human Dignity, Jurisprudence, and the State" (Geusau) "Promoting, Preserving, and Protecting Life Beginning to End" (Geusau) Areté Academy combines biblical worldview training with specialized professional development. This one-week student training is holistic, focusing equally on the spiritual, intellectual, and relational development of each attendee. Its name derives from Philippians 4:8, which refers to the moral excellence and virtue that accompany a life lived to its full potential and God-given calling. Thus, attendees are known as “Delegates,” because they are called to represent Christ as outstanding professionals.
