A senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D. C, and author of some sixteen books and seemingly innumerable articles, columns, blog posts, public addresses, and other contributions, he ranges with authority and conviction over an impressive variety of subjects: religion, just war, American foreign policy, American history, secularism in Europe, religion in Europe, Christian history, jihadism, communism, Mozart, architecture, higher education, Victorian biography, and baseball, to name a few. [...] lately I don't suffer them at all.
In First Things, George Weigel, of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, memorably lectured religious leaders on the "charism of political discernment" enjoyed by those in the White House ("Moral Clarity in a Time of War," January 2003). In a prescient February 2003 statement on the likely consequences of war, Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory, who was then president of the conference, warned that "a postwar Iraq would require a long-term commitment to reconstruction, humanitarian and refugee assistance, and establishment of a stable, democratic government at a time when the U.S. federal budget is overwhelmed by increased defense spending and the costs of war.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Many victorious candidates in the newly elected Republican-controlled House campaigned on repealing health care reform. But with the Senate remaining under Democratic control, what will become of efforts to "repeal and replace" President Obama's Affordable Care Act? Hudson Institute will host a forum on Thursday to examine the future of health care in light of the election results. The panel will include Doug Badger, Partner at the Nickles Group and former deputy assistant to President George W. Bush for legislative affairs; James Capretta, Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center and former Senate and Office of Management and Budget staffer; Thomas Miller, Resident Fellow, American Enterprise Institute and former economist with the Joi...
NEWS BLACKOUT Writing in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal and National Review Online, Ethics and Public Policy Center senior fellow Stanley Kurtz traced Barack Obama's partnership with former domestic terrorist William Ayers, when the two collaborated at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a charity established to help Chicago's public schools that was commandeered by Ayers to promote his radical agenda," the Media Research Center's Rich Noyes writes at newsbusters.org.
TWO GIANTS OF THE ART HOUSE CINEMA, Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni, died on the same day this summer, and the tributes to both men stressed-as I suppose was natural-all that set them apart from their fellow toilers in the celluloid vineyards of the mid-20th century and raised them to a stature rivaled only by their near-contemporaries, Akira Kurosawa (d. 1998) and Federico Fellini (d. 1993). During the summer of the death of Bergman and Antonioni, I presented at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington an eight-film series titled "The American Movie Hero," the point of which was to attempt to trace this gradual progression, during the 40 years from 1941 to 1981, from an American popular cinema of heroes and heroism to one of mere fantasy.
Santorum's landing Former Sen. Rick Santorum, Pennsylvania Republican, yesterday became a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington-based think tank, John J. Miller reports at National Review Online (www.nationalreview.com).
Michael Cromartie believes that when it comes to American politics, religion is here to stay. He argues it's always been that way. Cromartie, vice president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., will speak Wednesday at First Presbyterian Church. He's one of the country's foremost experts on the intersection of religion and politics and says that the civil rights and Vietnam protests of the 1960s were fueled by religious fervor.
George Weigel's timely book, "Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism: A Call to Action," published in 2007, looks at the role jihadism plays in the terrorism threat to the United States and to the West. Mr. Weigel, who lives in North Bethesda, is a senior fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington. He is a Catholic theologian who serves as a speaker and commentator on issues of religion and public life. He is the author or editor of 19 books. The following are excerpts from an interview with Mr. Weigel:
Rick Santorum got clobbered in the political ring, but he's not making a hasty retreat from the public stage. The former U.S. senator essentially is picking up his campaign -- at least its central theme of exposing the international threat of Islamic extremism -- where he left off when he was defeated in November. He'll do so in a new job as a senior fellow with the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a conservative Washington think tank.
Exotica, human and otherwise, are a permanent part of a Florida childhood," Christine Rosen says early on in this extremely engaging "Memoir of a Divine Girlhood." She does not say so explicitly, but chief among the exotica was the fundamentalist Christian education she received at Keswick Christian School in St. Petersburg. That was in the 1970s and 1980s. Ms. Rosen no longer considers herself religious, much less a fundamentalist. She leads a secular life as a married woman, history Ph.D., author ("Preaching Eugenics: Religious Leaders and the American Eugenics Movement") and fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., but she looks back on her childhood with great fondness.
