Different strokes: Howard Grace on dignity and peace

‘We human beings are extremely varied in what resonates with us.’

by Howard Grace 28th March 2025

When I read The Dignity of Difference by Jonathan Sacks, the former chief rabbi, what came through to me was that we human beings are extremely varied in what resonates with us. Some like classical music, others hiphop or afrobeat. I was a teacher of mathematics, but not all my students shared my joy or aptitude for the subject! This difference also goes for spiritual propensity – forms of worship and beliefs are many and varied. Having a diversity of religious practices and worldviews give us pivotal contrasts.
