For much of our nation’s history, the local church’s role in building and maintaining flourishing communities was well understood, accepted, and acted upon. Recent confusion about this role, within the Church and outside of it, has contributed to a breakdown of community and has increased social alienation. Regaining a robust appreciation for the institutions of civil society, the local church being preeminent, will be key in the redemption and renewal of these people and places.
