Tolerance which grows out of hope is more than a negative virtue -- more than a convenient way to ease sectarian tensions or foster social stability -- more than a sense of forbearance when the views of others clash with our own. Instead, seen not as a pallid religious compromise but as a sacred religious imperative, tolerance can become a powerful, positive force, one which allows all of us to expand our horizons -- and enrich our lives.

Savvy Saving Tip: Cooking & Saving
A top-tip for reducing your energy consumption is cooking one big meal instead of multiple small ones, and then storing the extra food. Make sure the food has cooled down properly before putting it in the fridge, as warm food raises the temperature of a fridge and this means that it will work harder. For more on managing your money, look out for a new episode of the Wise Wallets Podcast Series.

ITREB Thought of the Day: #ThankfulThursday
While it is difficult to find the good in a global pandemic, we have observed how this experience has brought people together to help others, and show their gratitude for things we often take for granted. Every Thursday at 8pm, many of us put our hands together in a show of appreciation for the NHS staff and key workers. There are even more people (seen and unseen) who are doing their bit to help, but are not being recognised in this way. So let us take some time today to be thankful for them too, and perhaps show our appreciation for all acts of generosity, kindness, or action taken in the service of others, in whatever way we can.
