From self-interest to the common good

A conversation with Nancy Roof

By Kim Shippey Sentinel staff

"When world leaders move from self-interest—or religious self-interest—to consider the common good of everyone on the planet, regardless of religion or race, then the whole world will move into a new spiritual civilization," said Nancy Roof, Ph.D., during a recent appearance on the Web site spirituality.com.

She said that we are living in increasingly complex and dangerous times, in which we are facing global problems that require global solutions. "It's a time of transition that is primarily a crisis in consciousness—a crisis that requires a new kind of spirituality."
