"Of course the classic model for this is Orania in South Africa, but the work that Ridge Runner is doing by forming a heritage, old-stock American community in Burkesville, Kentucky is an exciting project working towards this same end."

"The second Adam, Christ, had to assume all aspects of humanity and all the identities inherent to being human by being born as 1) a man that is part of a particular 2) family, 3) tribe, and 4) nation in order to redeem humanity.

"As an Afrikaner-Boer I don't celebrate Halloween, but I certainly wouldn’t condemn American Christians for doing so. Even once sanctified, each cultural group would maintain its own holidays, festivals, customs, priorities, strengths, and weaknesses, as long as they conform to the general equity of God’s moral law. This is a Reformational principle."
