Panel on Transcendence
In a world that increasingly focusses on the material, the presence of those who believe in transcendence, and in dimensions of depth to reality, and who seek to order their lives accordingly, are a fact in our society. They are not going away any time soon. What legitimate ways are there in politics to recognise that which transcends politics? What is the role of the establishment of the Church of England in sustaining a space for different churches and faiths to flourish in freedom? Do we need a ‘sacred canopy’ or a ‘naked public square’ in order to cooperate politically on what matters for the common good?
