Abstract
Institution-building is one primary form of humankind’s sharing in the continuing work of a Creator; it is a kind of “co-creation.” But each institution must – in its own way – advance human dignity and the common good. Thus we are called not only to build institutions, but to impart moral sensibilities to the institutional “work of our hands.”
