The State and Character Building
Most people use the terms "civic" and "civil" interchangeably; however, these concepts differ significantly, despite some areas of overlap.
Understanding the distinction is essential to effectively chart a way forward for an important national initiative of President Irfaan Ali.
During the Diwali celebrations, President Ali called upon faith leaders in churches, mosques, and temples to join forces with the government in addressing social challenges like gambling, addiction and a marked decline in values and morality.
He emphasised that economic transformation is limited without a solid ethical foundation.
To help guide the conversation and devise a robust plan of action, faith leaders must first embrace civil engagement as much as, if not more than, fulfilling their civic responsibilities.
