Core Values

“And here we pass over to what our attitude should be toward another person’s inner world. An absence of mercenary interest, of a certain curiosity and relishing of another person’s experiences, should be combined in the first place with a strenuous goodwill, with a sort of genuine tirelessness....We must have the strength not to define generally what a given person should or should not do but to define him for his own inner state… it is dangerous to approach a person with the yardstick of all-measuring doctrine and begin to dissect his living…” Maria Skobtsova.
