'IT IS THE MISSION OF EACH TRUE KNIGHT—HIS DUTY—NAY, HIS PRIVILEGE! TO DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM, TO FIGHT THE UNBEATABLE FOE, TO BEAR WITH UNBEARABLE SORROW, TO RUN WHERE THE BRAVE DARE NOT GO; TO RIGHT THE UNRIGHTABLE WRONG.'
― Joe Darion, Man of La Mancha

Interactive and Amusing Workshops
We cover the main ideas presented by various authors. Geoffroi de Charny—Book of Chivalry explains the importance of Christian faith in every area of a Knights life, the Knight as an elite warrior sworn to uphold the values of faith, loyalty, courage, and honor. Other sources used are Robert Lewis's—Raising a Modern Day Knight, Steve Farrar's—King Me, John Eldredge's Wild at Heart, Melissa Deming's Daughter of the King, and of course, God's Holy Word, The Bible.
