Awakening the City | From Greed to Generosity (Rome) | Jon Carter
Manage episode 405822192 series 2383570
Rome was like the nerve centre of the empire – and the vision was to recreate Rome across the empire. Philippi, Ephesus and all the colonies existed to serve Rome. Generosity therefore didn’t flow outwards but control meant that greed flowed inwards. Rather than creating a city of greed, how do we create a city that is for generosity? Has London become the Rome of our day where people see it as a place of greed and an island disconnected from the rest of the nation? How do we generously give away, and send stuff outwards?
