This week has been Trustees Week in the UK. At the William Temple Foundation we are greatly appreciative for the work of Trustees and in particular our trustees in support of the William Temple Foundation, the Temple Tradition of Public Theology and the pursuit of justice in the public square. This year we have developed a return to our roots as ‘Temple College’ and sought to champion the role of education, lay leadership and the role of all faiths and beliefs in response to the different issues and crises shaping the public square. Our dedicated team includes academics, activists, entrepreneurs, and community and faith leaders who possess a wealth of talents and expertise. Our team is also made up of diverse faith traditions, not just Christianity. This diversity honours the work that William Temple did to build bridges between those of different worldviews, and to hold open the pubic square for those who held different views to him. You can read more about our trustees here. Thank you to each of them: Simon, Paul, Helen, Deirdre, Ericcson, Edward, Yazid, Tariq, Peter, John, and Ian.
We include briefly here a piece written by Ian, in response to the election in USA. We are grateful to Ian for allowing us to share this via our channels following original publication on his own blog. The title of the piece is Some Ancient Wisdom for Modern Day Elections
