Rheinhold Niebuhr argued that Christians must learn to live with the tension of having and not having the truth. 'Tolerance' in its truest sense, he maintained, comes when we can have vital convictions which lead to committed actions and at the same time recognise that our own truth is always incomplete and subject to distortion. Living with convictions, we also then live with within the reality of divine forgiveness and with respect for the convictions of those who sincerely differ from us.
