2015: The Year of Values
- when we begin to contribute our energies and our insights to our always-emerging common good.
YOURS IS THE RIGHT AND THE POWER TO IMAGINE A NEW COUNTRY
In the country we wish to see, we value ourselves, and we value each other. In this new country, it is an honour to serve, where the highest good is the common good.
With the General Election fast approaching, 2015 is a year of decision, and most hopefully, the year that our country will discover its true spirit and will connect itself with the common good. The UK, despite many good works, deeds and actions by so many individuals, organisations, civil societies and more, is facing a number of major socio-economic, political, ecological, moral, ethical and spiritual crises. We see all around us rising levels of abject poverty, inequality and austerity, food banks and crisis centres, housing, education, welfare and healthcare crises, challenges facing children, young people and senior citizens and the prospect of a climate crisis, to name but a few.
Today, in many parts of the world, including our own country, the so-called “free” market, the consumerist culture, and “Black Friday” sales, have become increasingly dominant, and are now seriously threatening our global future, both in terms of our care of the planet, ourselves and our neighbours, and in increasing societal rivalry and conflict.
Thus, no wonder that, in the process we have lost trust in everything: politics, economics, politicians, business, CEOs, governments, the media, and dare I say, even in mainstream religions. Time is of the essence. We must build cultures of trust, being prepared to take risks for the common good. We must begin today, with this election.
