Ryan Anderson on Why His Think Tank Focuses on Culture and Not Just Politics

Over the years, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a think tank in Washington D.C., has been home to some of the most interesting and important thinkers at the intersection of religion and public affairs in America. And unlike most other D.C. think tanks, EPPC is just as interested in cultural renewal and the moral health of America as it is in policy and politics.

On this week's podcast, EPPC's new president Ryan Anderson joins us to discuss how his institution actually tries to influence American culture. The author of many essays and books, Anderson describes that challenge, what strategy EPPC is trying to pursue, and how it knows if it's making progress.   Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.
