The most important things we can discover are often things we already know. G.K. Chesterton is a voice for the present moment and for the New Evangelization, in the central place he gives to things local and particular and especially the family. What does he remind us about the family as the indispensable cell and building block of any real society? And as the hearth for nurturing mature human beings destined for an eternity that is even bigger than anything \u201cglobal\u201d? In his autobiography Chesterton recalls how his grandfather (a local \u201cmonument and a landmark\u201d) \u201ckept up the ancient Christian tradition of singing at the dinner-table.\u201d Also at the table, we find John Paul II and his\u00a0Familiaris Consortio<\/em>\u00a0(the Community of the Family, 1981), with the invitation that \u201cthe future of humanity passes by way of the family.\u201d What more is on Chesterton\u2019s serving tray?<\/p>\n
