Our Age

August 26, 2024

Our age is known for violence. It has been marked by alienation.

It has spawned bureaucracy.

It has embraced cynicism.

Yet human beings yearn for alternatives;

they long to matter.

They hunger for a community of shared values reflecting the triumph of intelligence and the life of the spirit.

From Carnegie Commission’s Study on Future of Public Broadcasting. 1976
