Fragile Neighborhoods & The Art of Social Repair

Seth Kaplan joins us to discuss his book, Fragile Neighborhoods, and the critical need to rebuild our "social fabric." In this conversation, we explore why many of our modern problems are actually neighborhood problems, and why the solution lies in a return to the local. Seth shares practical insights on how "sidewalk-level" interactions and local institutions are the primary engines for human flourishing. We dive into the shift from being a consumer to a citizen, and how we can all participate in the quiet, essential work of repairing American society one zip code at a time.

This preview is just the beginning of the story. If you’d like to watch the full hour-long conversation, we invite you to become a Parish Collective member and join us in supporting the work of neighborhoods everywhere.
