One reflection on the recent incidences in France focused on the virtues which France lives by: liberty, equality and fraternity.
“Liberty and equality aren’t gods; they’re conditions for making an open and just society. But we’ve neglected the third word in this venerable motto: fraternity... The issue isn’t straining to uphold liberty: it’s working out what to do with people who won’t. The real challenge isn’t how to live: it’s how to live together.”
The Revd Dr Sam Wells (Radio 4 Thought for the Day, 9/1/2015)
Universities have a huge role to play in ‘how to live together’.
