We are all affected by difference. We can worry that there won’t be enough to go round if we allow new groups to join us. We use national borders, religious laws, and historical evidence to keep others at bay. Sometimes we resist the attempts of newcomers or particular groups to help shape our shared future.
Today, it often seems as if the problems of difference are stronger than ever. However, the commitment of ordinary people to understanding difference can make the biggest difference of all. This is why we are committed to Living Together.
