Ohh the start of this conversation just sounds amazing, (where each person has to summerises the other) and then Prof Dawkins says "Yes, that's right, I couldn't say it better"... to the retired Archbishop of Canterbury; I can't wait for this to be released....
Ever thought of your position being sumerised by someone else... and so being well understood?
Beautiful! Great work Justin
I am beyond excited to bring you the conversation I recorded today with Richard Dawkins & Rowan Williams.
It’s another reason to look out for our forthcoming show ‘Uncommon Ground’, launching in early 2026.
One of the unique things about this new show is that, before we debate their differences, I ask both guests to try to summarise the position of the other person on the issue under discussion.
It’s a really interesting exercise in empathy and seeking to understand each other, and I think it lays the ground for a very different kind of conversation.
Different guests do it in very different ways but there was a lovely moment today when Rowan gave his summary of Richard’s view and was met with ‘That’s exactly right! You’ve said it better than I could say it myself!’
I honestly believe that creating better conversations about the issues we most disagree on is the only way forward in our increasingly polarised climate.
P.S. and yes… I sometimes have to pinch myself that I get to do this!
