There's a mention of Dr. Hibbs in part 2:
I was much more encouraged by what Thomas Hibbs, the Thomist philosopher who heads the Baylor University honors college, had to say. He remarked that we conservatives have been so preoccupied with politics that we have neglected the long, patient work of building up local institutions through which we can preserve virtue and pass on an active love for the Permanent Things to future generations.
Mr. Dreher talks more about that panel of which Dr. Hibbs was a member at his own blog in the post The Limits of Politics. In that post he refers to the contribution by Claes Ryn to the "What is Left? What is Right? issue of The American Conservative.
What is our mission?
Giving witness and evangelizing. Building up and protecting community. Nothing great or successful in the eyes of the world, but we live by a different standard.
