Christian Revival: Our Post-Liberal Hope?
Wednesday 11th & Thursday 12th March
Presented in partnership with the Danube Institute
Overview
The long post-war consensus in the West—politically defined by liberal democracy, economically by globalisation, and morally by a shared repudiation of past horrors—has broken down.
In its place, a new cultural and moral moment is emerging. In this post-liberal moment, a trans-denominational Christian restoration is gathering force—intellectually, spiritually, and culturally. The work of various contemporary thinkers, such as Rod Dreher, Paul Kingsnorth, and Iain McGilchrist, point toward a renewal that is not merely reactionary but creative: a re-enchantment of the world through the recovery of Christian metaphysics—not as private consolation, but as public truth.
This conference will gather some of the leading voices in this emerging renewal to ask:
· What form is this Christian re-enchantment taking?
· How should faith engage political life in a disenchanted world?
· What does it mean to be Christian after secularism?
· Can the Christian tradition not only criticise but also lead?
In doing so, we aim to connect Eastern and Western Christian traditions in common cause, and to investigate the appropriate relationship between Church and State in the post-liberal context.
The conference will also seek to articulate strategies for advancing Christian cultural and institutional renewal in this new and unsettled era.
