“The politics of anger that’s emerged in our time is full of danger. ” So wrote Jonathan Sacks back in 2017. The former Chief Rabbi – once described by the Prince of Wales as a ‘light unto this nation’ – continues to be a key thinker on the interplay between politics, philosophy and religion. His frequent appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Thought for the Day and his success as an author of over twenty books (Not in God’s Name is a Sunday Times bestseller) is testament that his voice carries moral weight far beyond the Jewish community. Could his latest book, Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times be the antidote to a divided world?

What is a Tortoise ThinkIn?
A ThinkIn is not another panel discussion. It is a forum for civilised disagreement. Modelled on what we call a ‘leader conference’ in the UK (or an editorial board in the US), it is a place where everyone has a seat at the table. It’s where we get to hear what you think, drawn from your experience, energy and expertise. It’s where, together, we sift through what we know to come to a clear, concise point of view. It is the heart of what we do at Tortoise.
Drinks from 6.00pm, starts promptly at 6.30pm. If you are late to a ThinkIn you can ‘SlinkIn’!
If you would like to contribute to this ThinkIn, let us know by emailing thinkin@tortoisemedia.com
We film our ThinkIns so we can watch them back, edit the best bits and share them with members who weren’t there in person.
Members can find their ThinkIn booking code in My Tortoise, under My Membership.
