3rd Conference: Rebecca Dillingham’s Speech

Dated: November 11, 2025 admin

Rebecca Dillingham’s presentation addressed Virginia’s foundational role in shaping both Southern and American identity, the enduring legacy of Philip Ludwell III, and the meaning of the Southern ethnos and why it is uniquely ripe for Orthodox enculturation and for evangelization of our neighbors, communities, and homeland. A transcript of her speech is available here.

Rebecca published the blog Dissident Mama for eight years and a podcast under the same name for nearly five. A native of Richmond, Virginia, she earned a B.A. in journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and currently serves as operations manager for the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship, which she helped co-found in 2021. Rebecca and her husband and three sons were received into the Holy Orthodox Church in 2017.
