In this episode you’ll hear Tim Dixon’s 2019 lecture,Crossing the Great Divide: Building Bridges in an Age of TribalismThe Western world is seeing a collapse in people’s faith in institutions, democracy, and even each other. Societies are fractured; political norms upended. Polarising debates centre on issues of identity, values, and belonging, and tribal voices muzzle the notion of a common good. In many countries, religious faith is becoming just one more marker of tribal division. Tim Dixon offers a vision for how we might reunite increasingly fragmented societies.---Tim Dixon is co-founder of More in Common, an international initiative which has published some of the world's leading research on the drivers of polarisation and social division. He has worked as chief speechwriter and economic adviser for two Australian Prime Ministers, and has helped start and grow social movement organisations around the world that have worked to protect civilians in Syria, address modern day slavery, promote gun control in the U.S., and engage faith communities in social justice.---Check out CPX's other podcast Life & Faith, a weekly conversation about the beauty and complexity of belief in the 21st century.---This episode is sponsored by International Justice Mission
