Parse that!

Eric has a great quote from theologian David Hart describing his political outlook in the course of recounting a session at the American Academy of Religion meeting discussing his book The Beauty of the Infinite:

I also had the joy of calling myself an “arch-conservative” in front of a room of people without then getting a chance to explain my ChesterBelloc-Wendell Berry-Dorothy Day-Bulgakov-feudalist-anarchist-monarchist anti-modernism.

    That’s me! Well, sort of. Definitely the Belloc, Day, and antimodernist parts. I don’t know about Belgakov. The “monarchical anarchism” bit sounds Milbankian, which isn’t necessarily a problem, but perhaps we could we compromise on Christian communitarianism somewhere in the middle?
