Advancing the Common Good
by
Jon Tyson
The common good is defined as—“the most good for all people.” Aristotle first conceived it, but Thomas Aquinas, a thirteenth-century Roman Catholic philosopher, honed it well as a Christian conception for how Christians ought to live alongside others who were different in society. This strict definition of the common good doesn’t prefer one human being over another; instead, it values all human life and wants what is best for all people—Christian or not. As we leave Q Chicago, how can we remain rooted in the Gospel as we advance the common good?

I'd like to download this to watch it on my AppleTV, but when I click the "download" link it says "Access denied." Any solution idea?

Justin,
You aren't the only one who had this problem, but I think it should be fixed now. Thanks for letting us know.

Is this downloadable? It would not download as a video.

Good talk, but it had nothing to do with "Advancing the Common Good"
Marshall Snider
Hey thinking that this was about advancing the common good - not seeing this. It was a great talk though.
