| Summary: | Rising social inequality defines much of our world today, evidenced not only by the disproportionate effects of poverty and climate change but also by the uneven impact of the global pandemic on resourced and under-resourced communities.

This address asks not what religion can help us do but rather what religion might help us cease to do, "to Stop" and re-evaluate. |
