Dr. Andrew Bennett, faith communities program director at Cardus. He argues for a better understanding of human dignity.

"We have witnessed over the past decade the decimation of communities that are 2,000 years old," write Rev. Dr. Andrew Bennett, faith communities program director at Cardus, and Richard Marceau, vice-president (external affairs) & general counsel at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.
