I don’t express my politics in arguments on Twitter or Facebook. I express them through my life, for better or worse..

In 1925, Frederick Lewis Donaldson gave a sermon in Westminster Abbey London, it was called “The Seven Social Sins,’ they were reprinted and often quoted by Gandhi.

For me, it is a political manifesto, though I would be shocked to hear it adopted by a politician. It expresses the values of the country I love, the one I wish to live in.

This list of social sins reminds me that my country is broken, and can be healed.

 

Wealth Without Work

Pleasure without conscience

Knowledge Without Character
