2006 Massey Lecture: Going the Ethical Way

By Graham Cameron / 26 August 2007

On 4 to 8 on National Radio today was a fantastic lecture from 2006 given by Margaret Sommerville based on her book The Ethical Imagination. Part One of a five part series was on today, and you are very lucky that it is freely available through the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Sommerville argues for a reconciliation of science, faith and morality as recognised forms of imagination, that is, as movements generated out of our intellectual and spiritual capacity to create and think. She argues for reconciling them today as contributors to our ethical imagination.

This was like streaming light into my Sunday. I am going out to find the book. At least take the time to listen to the lecture. The rest of the series continues next Sunday 2 September. Not to be missed.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
