I met Stephen this summer at the Woodcrest Bruderhof + DO + Savage Collective event in NY. Alan from Plough suggested Stephen for a panel and he instantly agreed! He gave a fantastic talk about the wonderful characters in his neighborhood, and the very real sense of place that happens when you invite the colorful characters into your life.
He had to run off to a family event after but he and I instantly hit it off and are slowly but surely planning a DO + Cracks in Pomo event in Manhattan, once we find the right format and speakers. In this episode we cover:
Stephen’s background
Postmodernism and the return of religion
Suburban disenchantment
Living tradition vs. traditionalism
Civic life over culture war
The Staten Island saint feast and MAGA
Roots, immigration, and integration
Humor, friction, and HR culture
Subsidiarity and overcentralization
The Catholic Worker and in-person events
