This book articulates the personal vision of a former Bishop of Colombo. It has relevance for all Sri Lankans. Bishop de Chickera has responded in his writings to various contemporary evets and issues of our time, with clarity, humanism and passion, to achieve a just, conflict free society. The book also provides insights and reflections that are especially relevant at a time when populism is being misrepresented nationally and globally, to undermine democracy, and idealise and legitimise authoritarian, and violent forms of governance.
