The work of the Caux Round Table is unique and frankly, often lonely. Our world has changed in recent decades and not for the better, it seems.
A war in Ukraine and an uneasy truce in Gaza with yet no reconciliation between Palestinians and the Jews of Israel. We see, in the rear-view mirror, the past leadership of the United Nations in sustaining world peace, the past enthusiasm for human rights, the past confidence in globalization and its facilitation of harmonization of religions, races, peoples and nation states. The “other” is, more and more, less our neighbor or our friend and so seemingly less entitled to our respect, trust and “love.”
The Hebrew book of Proverbs notes that, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
Who, today, is providing vision so that peoples do not perish?
With our unique and inspired idiosyncratic study of the covenants of the Prophet Muhammad – overlooked for 1,300 years – we try our best to step up and serve.
Our forthcoming book on Adam Smith, to mark the 250th anniversary of the publication of his Wealth of Nations, is another unique and inspired contribution to a global ethic of sustainable and trustworthy wealth creation.
We are out in front with our monthly newsletter, Pegasus, on how social and human capitals provide for good politics, just government and material well-being for all.
We are not funded by the high and the mighty, but by special people with vision and commitment to the common good.
I think you are such a person.
