We are created for togetherness

Believing in the Dignity of All

The concluding session of the Davos World Economic Forum is succinctly summarised by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who speaks about God's intention for mankind to live as a family. The Nobel Peace Prize winner speaks about 'Ubuntu', the African concept of common good, and how we would not know how to be human if it was not for others. We belong in this delicate network if interdependence – which raises the question that if we truly are a 'global family', how do we treat our brothers, sisters and the environment? Recommend you watch this one hour video to hear the words of a truly rare soul.
