On Tuesday, May 5th, 2010, Dr. Os Guinness talked at the Buxton Initiative, at an event entitled, “Toward a Global Public Square: Turning the perils of religious conflict into the promise of human flourishing.”
One of the world’s greatest issues for our age is “How are we to achieve global governance without a world government?” But one of the issues that must be settled first is “How are we are to live with our deepest differences?” Yet the present state of responses to the problem of religion in global public life is both inadequate and troubling. Far too many people never get beyond angry diatribes, endless academic studies, or seemingly endless interfaith dialogues. Dr. Guinness explored what it would take to work for a practical and sustainable civility in global public life.
