The second four are specific to my conceptualization of the field:


The last project is unique to my discernment of an interfaith hermit's vocation:


"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves." Romans 13:1-2 (NIV)

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." Thomas Jefferson, 1776 CE (Declaration of Independence)

"Virtue is the golden mean between two vices, the one of excess and the other of deficiency." Aristotle, 350 BCE (Nicomachean Ethics, Book II) 

"Politics without history has no root, and history without politics has no fruit." Sir John Robert Seeley, 1869 CE (The Teaching of Politics: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered at Cambridge)
