Patriotism - Faunce - Part 3 - Citizenship and the Path to Ethical Governance

Can intelligent patriotism truly shape the future of our cities and nation? Rev. WHP Fonce joins us to dissect this compelling question, sharing his passionate insights on the importance of civic responsibility and peaceful patriotism. As we explore the challenges of municipal misrule in metropolises like New York City, Rev. Fonce reminds us that our duties as citizens extend far beyond wartime. Whether you're voting with integrity or engaging in public service, every action counts in building communities of integrity and beauty, drawing inspiration from historical figures such as Oliver Cromwell and De Tocqueville.

Our conversation also ventures into the ethical considerations of imperialism and the promises tied to American ideals when acquiring new territories. As we stand on the threshold of the 20th century, Rev. Fonce argues for the critical need to offer freedom, self-governance, and education, rather than exploiting resources. Symbols like the Statue of Liberty and the Statue of Faith inspire us to uphold principles of liberty and faith, shaping a brighter future. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how embracing these values can ensure security and opportunity for generations to come.
