Former American President Bill Clinton delivered the 2001 Dimbleby lecture with the title 'The struggle for the soul of the 21st century'. This topic should concern Christians and especially missionaries.
After an interesting review of the problems the world faces in the 21st century, Clinton poses the question as to what is more important in the world today: our differences or our common humanity?
He reflects on the Taliban and Osama bin Laden as 'people (who) think they've got the truth, and if you share their truth, your life has value'. He compares that with the views of himself and his audience and says 'most of us believe that no one has the absolute truth... because we believe as children of God, we are by definition limited in this life, in this body with these minds. That life is a journey toward truth.'
