The Reverend expressed as to how he feels the current humanity should be. Globalization should be extended to technology, human rights and values. One should no longer focus on the concept of Foreign/Foreigner but abide by one set of International rules and Economic Justice. He quoted the phrase “Save the House”; if the house is burning then one’s own room is no longer safe so all occupants must strive to safeguard the house of mankind. He concluded his speech by saying we collectively should fight against the problems of racism, gender bias and poverty. He actively took a few questions from the audience. In reply to a specific question of whether foray into active political life might be construed as opportunism, he said “Be an opportunist for Justice”. One important take-away the students, faculty and the other guests got through his lecture was to Keep Hope Alive.
