Truth, Trust and Character
Christ Church Clifton Clifton Down Road Clifton, Bristol, BS8 3BN United Kingdom , United KingdomIn today’s world truth is disputed, denied, hidden and distorted. The very possibility of objective truth is dismissed, replaced with the idea that things can only be “true for you” or “true for me”. Yet people still go to court or take to streets to defend the truth. Truth still matters, so why can’t we agree on what it is?
