Cultural and religious traditions across the world offer moral standards as guides for individual and community living. Of these, IofC singles out values of honesty, unselfishness, love and purity of heart and action as practical tests for motives and daily actions.<br> <br> <br> <br> Honest conversation, undertaken in an open spirit, builds bridges of trust and community between people of similar, different, and even antagonistic, backgrounds. These enable healing, partnership and common action.<br> <br> <br> <br> IofC’s people and programmes seek to strengthen the moral and spiritual foundations of society and to bring healing and reconciliation where there is conflict; build bridges of trust between different communities and countries; embed ethics, justice and transparency in the global economy; empower leadership to act with integrity, serve unselfishly and be effective agents of change."Building trust across the world's divides"<br> <br> <br> <br> About Margaret Hepworth, Executive Officer, IofC Australia<br> <br> <br> <br> Margaret has been a long-term member and contributor to the work of IofC in Australia as well as internationally.
