, Accommodating Views that are Foreign to Your Orthodoxies
What undergirds and
constitutes the word ‘Liberal’ is the word 'Tolerance' and tolerance means
accepting views that one may dislike and may even find repulsive. What is
essential for us all, I would submit, is not the particular doctrine, whether
that is left or right but what matters is the ability to tolerate dissent from
your views. Not accommodating what one feels foreign to one's orthodoxies is a
cause of division.
