City and Country
By way of the CET -- Caelum et Terra Discussion Group, I came across two articles of interest by Paul M. Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation, an organization whose "main focus is on the Culture War."
The first addresses Agrarianism and what we can learn from the Amish and organic farmers:The Next Conservatism #9: Country Life.
The second recognizes the importance of cities in maintaining High Culture: The Next Conservatism #10: Conservative New Urbanism.
NASCAR is fine; even Flannery O'Connor was a fan. But cities are needed so that we might ensure that "future generations get to see Shakespeare’s plays, hear Mozart’s music or see Dürer’s engravings."

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
