This is a rebroadcast of the video located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDDNzdFnwMI The Transatlantic Chesterton: Reflections on the 100th Anniversary of Chesterton's Visit to America We were honored to welcome Mr. Dale Ahlquist to deliver our 3rd Annual Notre Dame Chesterton Lecture. Dale, as is well-known, is a leading Chestertonian in the US, and perhaps the world. We were so grateful for his wonderful wit and wisdom in conveying not only the life and work of G.K. and Frances, but also Chesterton's spirit. It was a remarkable gift to all of us! Dale reflected on the striking observations Chesterton made about America and the unique perspective of America he gave us. He also shared an update on the great and growing appreciation of Chesterton outside of his native England. chesterton.org
