Witherspoon Fellowship Lecture

I would love to be in Washington tomorrow morning to hear this lecture by Allan Carlson: Europe and the Christian Democracy Movement: A Once and Future Hope? I hope a transcript will be posted at the Witherspoon Fellowship website.

In the meantime here is an admittedly partisan exploration of the complex relationship between British Conservatism and continental European Christian Democracy by Mr. David Willetts, Member of Parliament for Havant. I may comment on it at some point, because it has some relevance for Canada, in that what Willetts sees as a strength of British conservatism appears to have been a weakness in its Canadian counterpart.
