Power always tends to corrupt and unchecked by truth inevitably corrupts. Of course there should be. But without truth, they are lost causes. But, community depends on truth as well as love. Integration of faith and learning depends on truth.
Multiculturalism depends on truth.
Truth can seem a threat to each and every one of these great ideals at times, but in the end without truth they are useless. Community without truth is dysfunctional. Integration of faith and learning without truth is an empty slogan. Multiculturalism without truth devolves into a sheer cacaphony of pluralism. The Triune God is truth and in them we find our way toward absolute truth.
