God Has Given Us Many Faiths But

Britain, Relative To The U.s., Is A Highly Secular Society. Philanthropy Alone Cannot Fill The Gap Left By Government Cutbacks. And The Sources Of Altruism Go Deep Into Our Evolutionary Past.

Civil Society Rests On Moral Relationships. They Are Covenantal Rather Than Contractual. They Are Brought About Not By Governments But By Us A Husbands And Wives, Parents, Friends And Citizens, And By The Knowledge Of What We Do And What We Are Makes A Difference To Those Around Us. (...) Renewing Society's Resources Of Moral Energy Is The Program, Urgent But Achievable.

While We Can Remember The Past, We Cannot Write The Future. Only Our Children, The Future Of Our Community, Can Do That.

I Think Our People In Britain Have A Normative Expectation Of Ethical Conduct.

Jews Know This In Their Bones. Our Community Could Not Exist For A Day Without Its Volunteers. They Are The Lifeblood Of Our Organizations, Whether They Involve Welfare, Youth, Education, Care Of The Sick And Elderly, Or Even Protection Against Violence And Abuse.
