About Us

Gileskirk is a Christian homeschooling group. The main course is determined by the era in history it will cover: whether it is Creation, , Antiquity, Christendom, or Modernity. I am in Modernity this year, which covers from the 1600’s until now. We are learning what the world has brought itself too since it’s spiral down ever since Modernity started. We also learn what could fix this, and the difference just one person can make. We learn the thoughts of the great thinkers of Modernity: from Sir Walter Scott to Descartes. From Chalmers to Maximillien Robespierre. We learn both sides of the equation, and quotes from people on both sides. We get to choose for ourselves whether we perfer ‘ Honest answers for Honest Questions’ ‘The Gospel is True and capable of changing you and all the world.’ (Chalmers) or ‘I laugh for the sake of those who die. Blood is what sets us free. We will slaughter in a reign of blood and terror until only one man stands: and that man shall be me.’ (Maximillien Robespierre).

The knowing of every great person in the years from 1600 to 2007 and what their lives were (or are) like will enable us to better help our nation, in either changing it, pushing it towards Reformation, or helping it fall into it’s own darkness of Revolution. We are all Christians. We stand up for the believes of Sir Walter Scott, Jane Austen, Chalmers, and Blasé Pascal, so that we can teach others to turn from the ideas of Descartes, Voltaire, Maximillien, Diderot, Hobbes, Spinoza, or Hume.

I will add to this more and more. This is just the beginning of me telling everyone exactly what we are learning.
