In the course of Steve's presentation, he will explain in detail the remarkable traits of character and unique circumstances that enabled Joan to achieve what seemed to be impossible: emerging from utter obscurity to lead her country’s army in turning the tide of a great war and—eventually—freeing her homeland from foreign domination. The presentation will consist of three parts: first, a lecture in which Steve will make his teaching points, and second, a photographic slide show/travelogue following Joan’s path back and forth across France. Every member of the audience will receive a copy of the lecture notes.
Finally, Steve will present a screening of Saint Joan of Arc: Maid for God.
