Vision

Statement of Purpose

It is affirmed that modern civil society  thrives on freedom of conscience, freedom of religion and freedom of choice.  Without  these freedoms the human personality and its potential for goodness, creativity and altruism are stifled. To the extent that these freedom are  denied, the opportunities for oppression, coercion and totalitarianism are multiplied exponentially.

Programs

Annual Lecture Series

• The AFA Annual Lecture Series provides the public with an opportunity to hear world famous writers, academics and leaders addressing issues of concern to the future of Western civilization. The series is often run in cooperation with other like minded organizations and presented at universities, public libraries, cultural centers and other locations of public gathering .

   All events are open to the pubic except where noted on the event web page or mini website. Each lecture is recorded and available to the public for download from the AFA web site occasionally for a small fee.

• The Literary Café is a monthly meeting of opinion makers and taste makers in Southern California who join together to discuss and debate a major work of non-fiction which addresses a threat to Western civilization. Each meeting will feature an appearance by the author or a surrogate who is closely associated with the work or its theme.  The gatherings  take place at exclusive homes and are limited to 30 participants. Each event features a discussion either with the author or with a specialized expert in a chosen field .

Cinema Gateway

• The Cinema Gateway is a film series which offers monthly screenings and premieres of films relevant to the defense of western values and ideals. Over the course of six months these films will offer rare insight into the problems the West faces from external threats and internal unpreparedness. Each screening will offer a panel composed of those closely associated with the film's production.
   

Conferences of the Air

• AFA Conferences of the Air are offered monthly as a means of addressing subjects central to the survival of Western values and ideals without the expense and difficulty of bringing all the speakers together in the same room. . These conferences, which at times have been known to host over 25 participating speakers, can range in lenght from 90 minutes to four hours. They can be accessed free of charge in real time or else in real time or reviewed at a listener's leisure on this archived site. Biographies of all speakers are made available, often with links to their individual websites.
