Society for American Civic Renewal

Disciplines:
politics/political organization
political theory/post-liberal politics

Summary

Charles Haywood's post-liberal fraternal organization — building local civic networks as social infrastructure for a future Christian social order to replace liberal democratic institutions.

Core Contribution

Organizational post-liberalism: SACR's model is explicitly pre-political — building the social capital, fraternal networks, and local civic institutions that would be needed for a post-liberal political transformation. The organization recruits men committed to post-liberal, Christian social principles and builds local chapters. Its approach is influenced by the recognition that the cultural and social prerequisites for political change must be cultivated before political victory is possible. Represents the most organizationally serious expression of American post-liberal thought.
