Pope Francis in his TED talk in 2017 urged for a “revolution in tenderness”. He reminded us that we are not islands unto ourselves, but rather a common family sharing a common home.
The mission is to encourage a culture of love where we recognize each others dignity and work selflessly to build a civilization of true opportunity. This ‘exploratory panel’ will delve more deeply into Pope Francis’ remarks and suggest courses of action aimed at realizing the Holy Father’s vision.
