Today my guest is Dr. Clark Carlton: author, speaker, and professor. He’s also the co-founder of The Philip Ludwell III Orthodox Fellowship, which is currently in its fundraising stages but has big hopes of “Nurturing the roots of Orthodoxy within the Southern tradition.”
We discuss the impetus for the fellowship, its goals to both foster the Southland’s indigenous culture and facilitate evangelism among her people, Southerners’ classical and biblical self-consciousness, Ludwell’s bio, stealth Baptist churches, everyone from Tris Englehardt and Basil Gildersleeve to Father John Meyendorff, English translations of the Divine Liturgy, permanence, going native, and much more.
Carlton’s articles have been published in various publications, such as the Journal of Christian Bioethics, St. Vladimir’s Theological Quarterly, and the Journal of Early Christian Studies, and his “The Faith” book series has been highly influential within Orthodox Christianity. His long-running but now retired Ancient Faith Radio podcast, “Faith and Philosophy,” provided important commentary on the intersection of Orthodoxy and faith, philosophy, and culture.
Dr. Carlton has a B.A. in philosophy from Carson-Newman College, a Master of Divinity degree from St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, and an M.A. in Early Christian Studies from the Catholic University of America. He’s currently assistant professor of philosophy at Tennessee Tech University, where he teaches the history of philosophy as well as the philosophy of religion and logic.
