The Quadrangle
Years ago the British developed a secondary educational establishment which they called a 'university'. This was taken from two words - unity and diversity - meaning the school was to promote unity in diversity - therefore 'university'
The building for the school was traditionally built on four sides. Separate uses for each building were envisaged. There was a dormitory, a dining hall, a chapel and a library, with a central space in the middle with entrances to each building from a portico running around the buildings on the inside, linking them all together
The architecture of these buildings mirrored the whole concept of the original idea and this became known as a 'QUADRANGLE'.
The first year students were not allowed into the library. Their mandate was to sleep, eat, fellowship and worship unitl they found out who God was, and how they fitted into His universe.
Only when this had been achieved, would they know what they were called by God to do and what their destiny was in the world. It was only then that they were allowed to start their formal studies.
Helped and encouraged by their tutors, lecturers and professors (professionals), they were to study and obtain the knowledge necessary to enable them to become the very best they could be at the task and calling God had given them in their chosen field.
Many students changed their minds about their direction in life after this first vital year.
As a consequence, most of the great inventions and changes that the world has ever known came about through this system.
Our places of education have lost this concept.......
We must reclaim it.
This is part of what The Lost Glory School aims to address.
