On November 3, I joined the Capitol Hill staff association, Faith and Law, to discuss how Dutch and English Whiggish principles birthed by Anglo Protestantism created ordered liberty and self government. These principles are not static but dynamic. And once shaping society they are not easily erased. Confidence about tomorrow can come if we recall and better live out these principles. They remind us that we each bear God’s political image and are stewards of His creation. And they point us away from nostalgia or temptations towards authoritarianism and instead towards enriched democracy amid providential hope.

Perhaps we could have a video on how American Deism and Freemasonry advanced ordered liberty.

David, it would be a very short video. They didn’t.
