  • To Empower People: The Role of Mediating Structures in Public Policy

    P Berger, Peter L Berger et al.CHAPTERNature of the Nonprofit Sector2021

    Two seemingly contradictory tendencies are evident in current thinking about public policy in America. First, there is a continuing desire for the services provided by the modern welfare state. Partisan rhetoric aside, few people seriously envisage dismantling the welfare state. The second tendency is one of strong animus against government, bureaucracy, and bigness as such. The public policy goal is to address human needs without exacerbating th…

    Cet article fait partie d'une vaste tradition critique. On y trouve l'esquisse de deux theses. La premiere est que, plus que jamais, les forces qui dominent l'economie capitaliste se montrent insatiables et resolues a obtenir des profits mirobolants, peu importe les souffrances et les destructions que ce dechainement provoquera. La seconde these evoque la premiere ecole de Francfort : la culture occidentale se trouve dans un etat desolant parce q…

  • Contending for the Future: Overcoming the Pfefferian Inversion

    Richard John NeuhausARTICLEJournal of Law and Religion1990

    “One area of intense controversy concerns the First Amendment Religious Liberty clauses, whose mutually reinforcing provisions act as a double guarantee of religious liberty, one part barring the making of any law ‘respecting an establishment of religion’ and the other barring any law ‘prohibiting the free exercise thereof. ... Religious liberty is the only freedom in the First Amendment to be given two provisions. Together the clauses form a str…

  • The Naked Public Square: Religion and American Democracy

    James W Skillen, Richard John NeuhausARTICLEJournal of Law and Religion1990

    In the 1980s, The Naked Public Square was one of the most frequently discussed books on American religion and politics. It will remain worth reading throughout the 1990s. Broadly speaking, Neuhaus' argument runs like this: Contrary to the dogmas of secular Enlightenment ... religion has neither withered away nor can it successfully be confined to the private spheres of (139). The new is evidence of the resurgence of potent religion, testifying to…

    t was a small but significant event.Following the assassination of Mar- tin Luther King, Jr., an ecumenical memorial service was held in St. Charles Borromeo church in Harlem.Standing outside the church a TV reporter solemnly observed: &dquo;It was a religious service, and fitting that it should be, for, after all, Dr. King was the son of a minister&dquo; (Neuhaus 1985: 97-8).To Richard John Neuhaus, confidant of King's and au- thor of The Naked …

    “If Lutheran Christians, as the elder brothers and sisters of the sixteenth century Reformation tradition, now discover that, for the sake of the gospel, division from Rome is no longer necessary (and therefore, precisely for the sake of the gospel, no longer permissible), other Protestants would have to ask what fidelity to the Reformation tradition means for them. In this light, Lutheran-Roman Catholic advance does not represent an instance of …

  • Mediating Structures: A Paradigm for Democratic Pluralism

    Open AccessTheodore M Kerrine, Richard John NeuhausARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1979Cited by: 1

    The advent of the modern welfare state has tended to undermine the "mediating structures" that form linkages between the individual in his private life and the vast institutions of the public order. Such institutions as churches and families are important not only because they are the value-generating and sustaining institutions in demo cratic society, but also because they are the agencies through which people most frequently interact in public …

    The opinion leadership of American religion has, since 1965, succeeded in making opposition to the Vietnam war respectable, to the effective exclusion of divergent viewpoints. Dissent from this new orthodoxy is exercised by small enclaves within a few scholarly centers and by larger church bodies that have remained aloof from the modern ecumenical dynamic in church co-operation and decision-making. The reasons for positions taken on the war by su…
