After a two-year covid pause, Rochester hosted its 17th Chesterton Conference - now called the Fr. Leo Hetzler Conference in honor of the late Chesterton scholar.
The conference drew an enthusiastic crowd to St. John the Evangelist Church - St. John Fisher College, which hosted the previous conferences was not available - heard about Poetry: Fruit of Christian Joy.
Ted Janiszewski discussed the poetry of the Psalms.
Jonathan Thorndike (introduced by Joseph Pearce) discussed Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales.
Joseph Pearce talked about poems every Catholic should know.
And then the conference concluded with a dramatic reading (led by Dale Ahlquist) of selections from Chesterton's The Ballad of the White Horse.
It was a typically delightful Chesterton conference, full of inspiration and laughter and ... Christian joy.
