A bit more on Lord Jonathan Sacks, who died on 7 November 2020, not less than two months after delivering the Truman G. Madsen Distinguished Lecture (on “Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times”) to the Wheatley Institution at Brigham Young University:

“Remembering a Great Leader and Thinker”

But only 36% said their spirituality influences their political actions.”
