Ann Morisy is the first person to offer a faith-based perspective on intergenerational fairness.
Included in 'Great Christmas gifts' feature in The Church of England Newspaper
-
Ann Morisy... opens up a new vein of practical theology, offering the first faith-based exploration of intergenerational fairness... This book, with a text, layout and style of writing which are easy to read, is one for people seriously grappling with theological thinking with regard to a society where issues cannot any longer be viewed as clear-cut...
Fairacres Chronicle, Vo. 44 No.2
-
In this important book, Ann Morisy opens up 'today' to the judgment of the future. She does not shrink from the likely consequences of what she describes as our 'dastardly' self-love, but she rejects any hopeless passivity. The challenge is whether the beneficiaries of today can be transformed into a turnaround generation, securing and enhancing our human future.
The Rt Revd & Rt Hon Dr Richard Chartres, Bishop of London
-
A book that will challenge Christians and non-Christians alike on one of modern Britain's biggest injustices: one generation paying for the exceptional good luck of another.
The Rt Hon David Lammy, MP
-
... a thoroughly engaging, even riveting, read... This is an important and invigorating book.
