According to the Archbishop of York John Sentamu, rising inequality in a world marked by individualism and consumerism and wracked by an economic crisis has left us a society increasingly ill at ease with itself.
This, he believes, is due to losing the sense of a common vision and we need to rebuild community in recognition of our common humanity.
Five years ago Sentamu invited a leading group of economists, thinkers, contemporary historians and theologians to a symposium in York to take stock not only of the policies that should govern our society and economy but also the underlying values and principles necessary for the common good.
