Why Concord?

What is the thinking behind Concord? “Since when have conservatives stopped living in the past?” asks the skeptic. Here are some reasons for our hope.

All over the world, decent people live upright lives and perform acts of virtue; artists share beauty and illuminate truth in their works; and the love of wisdom ennobles public life toward justice.

The conservative spirit arises in an attempt to preserve the life-giving principles of a society when they are threatened. In such a crisis, historical understanding, political wisdom, and moral excellence rally to defend the established order. In so far as this enterprise fails, the conservatives pledged to it may descend to pessimism and discouragement as restoration recedes from the realm of possibility.

At the beginning of the 21st century, conservatives may take heart if we realize that in addition to shoring fragments against the ruins, we are capable of building anew. As we love wisdom, as we practice justice, and as we look back to our ancestors and look forward to posterity, we inhabit a worthy order.

We are not orphans of the Modern Age: we are the children of the Cathedral Builders, for whom the ravages of Time hold no terrors.
