The Meridian
Ministry of Children

Welcome!  If you're visiting in search of the Pages' School Web Site, don't worry - it's still here!  We've simply shifted things around a bit to accommodate a new section specifically for the MoC office.  We certainly hope you enjoy the new design, and if you have trouble finding anything, please contact us for assistance.  Thanks!

About the SCA and our Kingdom

The Society for Creative Anachronism
The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international organization who's members are dedicated to researching and re-creating pre-17th-century European history. While authenticity is encouraged in as many areas as possible, the SCA also strives to recapture the ambiance of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and the lost ideals found in medieval romances: chivalry, courtesy, honor and graciousness.

The Kingdom of Meridies
Like most clubs and organizations, the SCA has a system of local and regional "chapters". The Kingdom of Meridies is a regional "chapter" comprised of (all or part of) the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Within the Kingdom of Meridies is the Principality of Gleann Abhann comprised of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and part of Tennessee.
