Europe at a Crossroads
Streamed live on 13 May 2019
Three decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Europe is once again at a crossroads. In the years since its creation, the European Union has become increasingly hostile to national identity and cultural uniqueness. Instead, the EU has opted to promote uniformity and impose decisions by fiat. That shift has proved unpopular throughout the Union: From the UK to Italy to Eastern Europe, Europe is searching for an alternative to the status quo.

The Crisis of Liberty in the West
Thu, Dec 1 from 10:00am - 5:30pm - Politics & Society
The West today is in a state of crisis. Facing immense domestic economic and political problems, North America, Europe, and other Western nations are also struggling to address existential threats from without. But above all, the West appears to be suffering from a crisis of self-belief: one which touches centrally upon its attachment to the tradition of ordered liberty in politics, freedom in the economy, strong civil societies, and, perhaps above all, the unique synthesis of faith and reason that is at the root of Western civilization.
It is possible to have a secular society?
The theme of the Conference was Continuity, Challenge or Change? European Cultural and Intellectual Identity before and after the Enlightenment. Roger was the Keynote Speaker.
Roger argues that the only true conservationist and environmentalist is a Conservative. Conservatism is far better suited to tackle environmental problems than either liberalism or socialism; rather than entrusting the environment to unwieldy NGOs and international committees, we must all assume personal responsibility and foster local sovereignty.
